KUCHING: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has identified two potential candidates to stand in Baram for the 13th general election.

Its state chairman Baru Bian, however, did not disclose the candidates’ identity only to say that they were qualified Ibans.

Even though the list of PR candidates must be announced on Oct 2, Baru said that seat negotiations were still ongoing within the PR.

“At this point in time, we have come down to finalise a few more seats,” Baru told the press at the Stampin service centre here, adding that PKR was in the midst of sorting out the overlapping seats with DAP.

He said that the candidates’ list would be ready in the next two or three weeks.

Regarding their recent meeting, Baru admitted that PAS was not present since they had no overlapping seats with PKR.

“I have had three meetings with DAP and two with PAS. It is time for me to make my report to the political bureau,” said Baru.
