Six of the 13 states in the Malaysian Federation are holding elections.

Key Points: 
  • Six of the 13 states in the Malaysian Federation are holding elections.
  • But precisely because the past five years of federal politics in Malaysia have seen unprecedented instability and uncertainty, these state polls represent a test of faith in the new government of Anwar Ibrahim.

A turbulent history

    • For most Malaysians, BN was the only conceivable option for economic and social stability in a multi-ethnic country built around communal politics.
    • Six decades of unchallenged UMNO power produced rentier politics and systemic nepotism that hollowed out meritocracy and accountability.
    • While he was in jail, Anwar’s wife Wan Aziza founded Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR - the People’s Justice Party).
    • She also helped lead the reformasi movement, inspired by the movement that had contributed to the ending of the Suharto regime in Indonesia.
    • After the November 2022 general elections, a hung parliament meant multiracial Malaysia came very close to having an almost entirely Malay government.

Where to now?

    • Anwar’s February budget was well-received and his government so far appears largely credible and sensible, despite some disappointing compromises.
    • The future of Malaysian politics has never before been so open.
    • Old certainties, such as the unshakeable dominance of BN, have dissolved, along with former understandings of how communal politics works in Malaysia.
