KUCHING, Oct 27: Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUS) Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar has submitted a formal notice of the dissolution of the Sarawak Assembly to Election Commission (EC) chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun today, with the upcoming State election will involve only 82 seats.
Asfia said the 17 additional state seats approved by the DUS on July 7, 2025, would not be contested in the coming election as the necessary processes to finalise their implementation had not been completed in time.
“The notice, dated Oct 27, informed the EC that the 19th Sarawak State Legislative Assembly had been dissolved effective Oct 26,” he told a press conference at the DUS Complex’s media room today.
