The next general election in Malaysia is scheduled to be held by 17 February 2028. It will determine the composition of the Dewan Rakyat, which determines the government of Malaysia. Redistribution and boundary changes for the constituencies are expected to take place by 2026, with the last taking place before the 2018 general election.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, leader of Pakatan Harapan, currently leads a coalition government consisting of PH, BN, GPS, GRS, WARISAN and other minor parties. Perikatan Nasional (PN) and the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) sit as the opposition.
The 2022 general elections saw PM make gains primarily in the northern peninsular states of Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu in what was dubbed as the Green Wave. It resulted in a hung parliament for the first time in Malaysian electoral history.
