17 new state seats in S’wak unlikely to be contested at next polls, says EC chief
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 17 additional state seats being proposed for Sarawak may not be utilized in the upcoming state elections, according to the Election Commission (EC) chairman Ramlan Harun. The EC has stated that the review of electoral boundaries for these seats will not be complete until February 2027, after the term of the Sarawak government ends.
During a recent visit to the exhibition venue for the Sarawak electoral boundary review at Kuching North City Hall, Harun informed reporters that the EC has received 18 objections regarding the proposed electoral boundary review for Sarawak. These objections include concerns about changes to polling district centers and the names of certain state constituencies in Sarikei, Bintulu, and Sibu. The EC will thoroughly review these matters at a later date.
