“It’s really challenging in Malaysia to do anything out of the ordinary as far as policy is concerned,” Yeoh said. “The alliances are not set in stone, especially if political parties are not able to get the numbers and, as a result form new coalitions.” “The new political alignments could lead to many potential kingmakers, namely PAS and GPS,” Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani, deputy managing director at consultancy BGA Malaysia told Al Jazeera. The Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak also have their own parties, such as Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), which previously backed BN. Elections for assemblies will also be held in some of the country’s 13 states. The federal election, which was not due until September 2023, will take place on November 19 after two weeks of campaigning, the Election Commission announced on Thursday.

Malaysia to hold general election on Nov 19 (The Straits Times)

More than 20 million Malaysians are expected to vote for a new government, following more than two years of political turmoil that led to a snap election.

Malaysia has seen three prime ministers in three years, and the last two administrations had only a single-digit majority in Parliament. Sarawak has 31 seats and Sabah 25 seats in Malaysia’s 222-seat Parliament. The ruling blocs in both Borneo states - Gabungan Parti Sarawak and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah - could enter into post-electoral alliances to help any of the major coalitions in forming a new federal government. The commission said 21.1 million voters are eligible to cast their votes, compared with nearly 15 million in 2018. The commission did not provide a voter turnout target, but many expect that it will be lower than the 82 per cent turnout registered in 2018. All 222 parliamentary seats will be up for grabs during the general election, along with the state legislative seats of Pahang, Perlis and Perak.

Malaysia Election Set for November 19 Amid Fear of Floods (The Diplomat)

The chairman of the country's Election Commission said that a two-week campaign period will begin on November 5.

Ismail, who was appointed by the king in August 2021, is the country’s third prime minister since the 2018 polls. The reformist government led by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad that took office in 2018 collapsed in less than two years due to defections, returning UMNO to power in a shaky alliance. The then-Prime Minister Najib Razak has since been imprisoned for 12 years for graft, and UMNO’s current president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is also on trial for corruption.
