"I am waiting for a full report on the status and popularity of our candidates before making the final decision.
"However, I am confident that all the incumbents qualify," he told reporters.
Mawan, who is Sarawak social development and urbanisation minister, was asked to comment on the statement by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak on Sunday that the BN would only field winnable candidates in the next election.
In the 2006 Sarawak election, SPDP won all the eight seats it contested, enabling the Sarawak BN to win 63 of the 71 seats in the state legislative assembly.
