‘We still have until February 2028’, Pakatan sec-gen says as GE16 chatter grows

Pakatan Harapan secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has dismissed calls for the 2026 Malaysian general election to be held earlier, stating that the Madani government's term only expires in February 2028. Speaking after the launch of the 2026 Madani Adopted Village and School, Nasution emphasized that they have ample time to focus on fulfilling their responsibilities as leaders and safeguarding the people's welfare.

Speculation over the election timing has intensified, with some analysts suggesting possible windows for an early dissolution, including the final quarter of 2026 or shortly after Budget 2027. However, Nasution remains confident that the coalition has until February 2028 to fulfill its responsibilities.
