KUCHING, Oct 8: Talk of a looming State election is gathering momentum in Sarawak, following social media speculation last night (Oct 7) that polling day could fall on Dec 12.
The focus is now shifting to the upcoming Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUNS) sitting next week, where the 2027 State Budget is expected to be tabled, marking a key event that could pave the way for the dissolution of the Assembly as early as November.
Adding to the growing anticipation, Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said yesterday (Oct 7) that the political reality was that Sarawak would have to head to the polls soon, given the limited time remaining in the current term of the Assembly, which is expected to expire in December.
