MIRI, April 11 (Bernama) -- Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) president Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam said he is hopeful of some "nice surprises" for the party come April 16.
The Deputy Chief Minister OF Sarawak said he was also happy with the party's campaigning so far, adding that the tide of support had turned in favour of SUPP, despite continuous onslaught on the party by the opposition.
He said the party was on a rebound and hoped to wrest back seats it lost in the 2006 election.
SUPP lost six of the 19 seats it contested in 2006 to DAP, and one each to SNAP (Engkelili), PKR (Padungan) and an Independent (Ngemah). Engkelili assemblyman Johnical Rayong later joined SUPP.
"It will be interesting to see the results, there will be some surprises. Nice surprises for me, I hope.
"The opposition peaked too early, the tide is turning to our side now. We are working together as a force more than before," he told Bernama when met at the Miri International Airport here, today.
