EC receives notification on dissolution of Sarawak State Assembly, paving way for state election

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — The Election Commission has been officially notified about Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah’s royal assent to ending the Emergency proclaimed in Sarawak, with a state election now set to be held within 60 days.

Ikmalrudin said based on Section 3 of the Emergency Ordinance 2021, the State Legislative Assembly will be dissolved on the date when the Proclamation of Emergency is revoked or annulled. “Therefore, the EC will hold a special meeting to discuss the implementation of the state election,” he said, adding that the date of the meeting will be announced later.

Lifting the Emergency ahead of the original February 2, 2022 expiry was the Agong’s prerogative, which he exercised following the meeting with Sarawak Governor Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud, the palace official said.
