Batu Lintang incumbent See Chee How submits application to join SUPP
-
Batu Lintang incumbent See Chee How has submitted an application to join SUPP, moving beyond the speculation that followed his years as an independent representative.
SUPP said the form was handed over at its headquarters in Kuching on Oct 27, in the presence of party leaders. The confirmed development is the submission of a membership application; it is not an announcement that See has been selected to contest Batu Lintang at the coming state election.
See first won the constituency in 2011 under PKR and retained it in 2016. He secured a third term on a PSB ticket in 2021, then left PSB in August 2022 and served as an independent before the Assembly was dissolved.
That history gives the application particular significance for Batu Lintang voters: a representative who last won under one party and later sat independently is now seeking to enter SUPP, a component of the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak coalition. It does not, on its own, settle the constituency’s candidate lineup.
DayakDaily reported the party’s account of the handover, while Sin Chew Daily also reported the submission and noted the question of whether See would be fielded to defend the seat. Party membership and an election nomination remain separate matters; a formal candidate announcement is the next development for voters to follow.
