PRU DUN Sarawak 2021 diadakan berikutan pembubaran DUN Sarawak pada 3 November 2021 setelah tertangguh sejak tamat tempoh penggal lima tahun (sehingga 7 Jun 2016) iaitu 6 Jun 2021 akibat pengisytiharan darurat oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan di seluruh negara yang berpunca daripada penularan wabak pandemik COVID-19. PRU DUN ini dapat melihat pengaruh GPS dalam persada geopolitik Sarawak dalam keadaan negara dan negeri ini masih dalam keadaan penularan wabak pandemik COVID-19. Justeru adalah menjadi tujuan penulisan artikel ini untuk menganalisis pengukuhan kuasa politik GPS terhadap geopolitik Sarawak dalam PRU DUN Sarawak 2021. Berdasarkan analisis data keputusan PRU DUN Sarawak 2021, pemerhatian di lapangan dan analisis sumber sekunder, dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa pengukuhan sokongan pengundi kepada GPS disebabkan beberapa faktor iaitu pengalaman GPS memerintah Sarawak, kepimpinan GPS yang dikenali pengundi, manifesto pilihan raya GPS yang realistik, penerusan program pembangunan Sarawak, jentera pilihan raya GPS yang berpengalaman dan bersistematik, impak penularan wabak pandemik COVID-19, perpecahan undi parti pembangkang Sarawak dan penurunan peratusan pengundi bandar yang pro parti pembangkang. Oleh itu, pengukuhan politik GPS dalam geopolitik negeri Sarawak ini menunjukkan bahawa pentingnya pengalaman dalam memerintah serta mempunyai jentera parti yang tersusun bagi memenangi pilihan raya.
