Sarawak polls likely in December, says PBB’s Karim
Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu information chief Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah notes that the last state election was held on Dec 18, 2021.
Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) information chief Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has indicated that the next Sarawak state election is expected to take place in December. Karim, who is also the state's Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts minister, stated that Premier Abang Johari Openg has not yet announced the date for dissolving the state assembly.
The election must be held within 60 days of the dissolution, which occurs at the end of February. Karim emphasized that despite the possibility of Abang Johari announcing the dissolution at the end of November or in December, the election would still have to be held in December. He added that the festive season, including Chinese New Year in January and Ramadan in February, makes these months unsuitable for the polls.
