Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated that the unity government's priority remains its governance responsibilities, deflecting questions about a potential early general election in Malaysia amidst speculation surrounding snap polls in Johor. He clarified that the decision to dissolve the Johor state assembly rests with the state government itself, following its dissolution on Monday. The 16th Johor state election is mandated to occur within 60 days. While rumors suggest Anwar might seek an early dissolution of Parliament for the 16th general election (GE16), potentially aligning it with state elections in Melaka and Johor, GE16 is constitutionally due by February 2028. The 2022 Johor polls saw Barisan Nasional secure a significant majority.
