Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said no decision has been made yet on when the next Sarawak state election will be held.
Speaking at the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Betong Zone Special Convention on Aug 1, he said the polls could be held in October, November or December, but nothing has been finalised.
What we know now
Abang Johari said PBB must be ready to defend all its state seats. PBB currently holds 47 of the 82 seats in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly.
The 13th Sarawak State Election must be held before the current State Legislative Assembly term expires in February 2027.
For voters, the main point is simple: no polling date yet, but the window is getting clearer.
Location: Sarawak
Details: Premier says no decision yet; October to December remains possible; current assembly term expires before February 2027.
