PETALING JAYA: Speculation is rife within the upper echelons of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) that it plans to head for the 12th state election by December.

Sources have indicated there are moves to dissolve the state assembly soon to pave way for the state election in December, ahead of the Emergency Proclamation that will expire next February.

Political analyst Dr Jeniri Amir said GPS would prefer to avoid having the election after Undi18 is implemented, when those aged 18 and above will automatically be eligible voters. The state election is also “long overdue”, as the state assembly was automatically dissolved in June and polls should have been held.“GPS has already prepared for an election for a long time so it sees no reason to delay it further now, especially as even Melaka is set to go to the polls,” said Dr Jeniri.
