Ramlan Harun says the review of the electoral boundaries for the seats will extend beyond February 2027, when the term of the Sarawak government expires.
The Election Commission (EC) chairman, Ramlan Harun, has stated that the 17 newly proposed state seats in Sarawak are unlikely to be contested in the upcoming state elections. The EC chairman explained that the review of electoral boundaries for these seats would extend beyond February 2027, which is when the current Sarawak government's term ends.
According to Ramlan, the EC has received 18 objections so far to the proposed electoral boundary review for Sarawak. The issues raised include changes to polling district centers and concerns over the names of certain state constituencies in Sarikei, Bintulu, and Sibu. The EC plans to thoroughly assess and examine these matters in the coming period.
