Selangor is one of the states which did not dissolve simultaneously with Dewan Rakyat on 10 October 2022. It was decided by Pakatan Harapan on 15 October 2022.[1] In January 2023, it was announced the election would feature the Green Party of Malaysia's electoral debut.[2]

Background

In the 2018 general election, Pakatan Harapan won the state of Selangor, winning 51 out of the 56 state seats. Despite the Sheraton Move occurring in the beginning of 2020, the various changes during the 2020 - 2022 Malaysian political crisis did not affect the politics at the state level, allowing the Pakatan Harapan state government to continue to govern.

On 6 August 2020, the Chief Minister of Penang, Chow Kon Yeow, reiterated his stance that all states that have a Pakatan Harapan government, including Selangor, would not dissolve the state assemblies in order to coincide with a snap general election. This was because at the time, the Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan state governments had a stable majority. The Pakatan Harapan leadership further emphasized that there will not be a dissolution in 2021 and 2022, citing various factors, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the need for the state governments to complete a full term, and the possibility of various factors which might inconvenience people should the state elections be called at the wrong time, such as floods, ahead of the 2022 Malaysian general election.[3]

On 10 October 2022, Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob dissolved Parliament, resulting in a snap general election being held in Malaysia on 19 November 2022. Traditionally, every state in Malaysia except Sarawak would hold their state elections concurrently with the general election for the sake of convenience, but since 2020, several Malaysian states held state elections separately from the general election, with Sabah on 26 September 2020, Melaka on 20 November 2021, Sarawak on 18 December 2021 and Johor on 12 March 2022. With the exception of Perlis, Perak and Pahang holding state elections during the 2022 Malaysian general election, all other states, including Selangor, will hold their state elections in 2023.

Constituencies

All 56 constituencies within Selangor, which constitute the Selangor State Legislative Assembly, were contested during the election.

Notes
      1. MUDA had yet to be admitted as an official component party of Pakatan Harapan. Pakatan Harapan would be forming an electoral pact with MUDA.
      2. Corporation between PH and BN with 40 seats and 5 seats
      3. New coalition formed in 2020. These numbers are the total seats and vote share of BERSATU, PAS and GERAKAN in the last election. The parties were previously part of Pakatan Harapan, Gagasan Sejahtera and Barisan Nasional.
      1. The seat was won by Harumaini Omar in the 2018 Selangor state election as a candidate of Pakatan Harapan (BERSATU). He later exits the PH coalition and BERSATU in May 2020, and joined Parti Pejuang Tanahair (PEJUANG). Harumaini was vacated from his seat in an announcement by the Selangor state assembly Speaker Ng Suee Lim on 16 February 2023, due to prolonged absenteeism without notice from the Assembly sitting since 28 July 2022.
