PBB plans to submit Sarawak redelineation proposal to EC: Abang Jo

Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg says party has set up special committee to conduct review but final call comes from commission

KUCHING – Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) has announced its intention to submit a proposal on the review of electoral boundaries in Sarawak to the Election Commission (EC), said its president Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.

He said the party has established a special committee responsible for examining the issue of electoral boundary delimitation.

“At the moment, the matter of redelineation is still under consideration and we can only make suggestions while the final decision however rests with the EC,” he said during a press conference after making a visit to the Dataran Ibu Pertiwi yesterday.

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh, in a statement, said the commission was considering and evaluating the suitability of conducting a redelineation exercise for Sarawak.

Ghani said a redelineation exercise could only be carried out after the expiration of the eight-year interval period from the date of completion of the previous exercise, or when there are amendments to the composition of members of the Dewan Rakyat or state legislative assemblies.

“The last redelineation exercise for the states of Malaya was completed in 2018, while for Sarawak and Sabah, it was done in 2015 and 2017 respectively.”

Ghani said any redelineation proposal would only commence upon notification to the Dewan Rakyat speaker and the prime minister by the EC and a notice published as provided under Part II, Section 4, Thirteenth Schedule of the federal constitution. – January 2, 2024
