Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg is expected to announce the dissolution of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly this afternoon, paving the way for the next state election.
According to a media invitation issued by the Premier’s Office, a special press conference will be held at Kompleks Satria Pertiwi at 3.30pm today.
Speculation over the dissolution date has intensified over the past few days, with the state election expected to take place in the near future.
The Sarawak Legislative Assembly held its final sitting for the current term last Wednesday, during which the Sarawak 2027 Budget was also passed.
The current assembly, which has 82 seats, is scheduled to complete its term in February 2027.
In the last Sarawak state election, held on Dec 18, 2021, Abang Johari-led Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) secured a landslide victory, winning 76 of the 82 contested seats.
Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) won four seats, while DAP secured the remaining two.
