Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, information chief of the ruling Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), has indicated that Sarawak's next state election is likely to occur in December, citing the schedule of previous electoral cycles in the state.
Rahman Hamzah noted that the last state election was conducted on December 18, 2021, suggesting a similar timeframe for the upcoming poll. The timing would align with typical intervals between state elections in Sarawak, though no official announcement regarding the election date has been made by state authorities.
The remarks come as Sarawak's political landscape continues to evolve following the 2021 election, which saw PBB maintain its dominant position in the state assembly. As the state prepares for the possibility of a December election, political parties have begun laying groundwork for the campaign season.
State election officials have not yet confirmed a specific date for the next poll. Any election in December would need to comply with constitutional requirements governing the timing and conduct of Sarawak state elections.
