KUCHING: Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) will possibly nominate a woman candidate for the coming general elections which must be held next year.
The party president Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Jemut Masing said that he was seriously looking into the matter and where one of the party’s incumbent members of parliament will be dropped in order to give way for the woman candidate.
“The women membership in PRS is 50 per cent while the women voters come from 40 per cent of our voters and what we can do is at least give a seat to one of them.
“This is also in order for us to recognise and honour them because if we do not recognise them, they will not recognise us and I will be in trouble,” he said when met by reporters during a Hari Raya visit to Chief Minister Hari Raya Aidilfitri Open House at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching here, last Sunday.
Masing added that PRS is now preparing for the election
which maybe held in April next year.
“PRS is very confident in winning its six seats and now I am looking through the six parlimentary area Key Performance Indicator (KPI) where generally, majority of them perform on par,” he said.
