The state election was conducted in the midst of the 2020-22 Malaysian political crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia. The state election is notable for being the first elections to have UNDI18 voters, where 18-year-olds were allowed to vote.

The snap election was called prematurely after the government led by Menteri Besar Hasni Mohammad had lost a simple majority in the legislature, being left with a minority government of just 28 seats, above one seat against the 27 seats of the opposition following the death of Kempas assemblyman and former Menteri Besar Osman Sapian on 21 December 2021 before the dissolution. The Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail consented to the dissolution of the Johor State Legislative Assembly on 22 January 2022.[4]

The state election is the fourth election after the 2018 general election, resulting in the most non-simultaneous elections between federal and state elections in a single 5-year term of parliament in the nation's history. The state election is also the third election after Ismail Sabri Yaakob took over as Prime Minister in August 2021. The state election would also be the first in which 18-20 year olds are eligible to vote after the gazettement of the constitutional amendment on 15 December 2021.[5]

Barisan Nasional (BN) continued its landslide winning streak in recent state elections, winning 40 seats and a two-thirds majority. Pakatan Harapan (PH) suffered heavy losses, winning only 12 seats. Perikatan Nasional (PN) won just 3 seats. The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) won 1 seat in its election debut.

Election cycles

Johor became the fourth state in Malaysia to not hold its state elections simultaneously with national elections, after Sarawak (since 1979), Sabah (since 2020), and Malacca (since 2021).

Kelantan (1978–1982) held its state election in March 1978 following a political crisis the previous year, but national elections were held only 4 months later. Since then election cycles in Kelantan have synchronized with national elections.

Electoral system

Elections in Malaysia are conducted at the federal and state levels. Federal elections elect members of the Dewan Rakyat, the lower house of Parliament, while state elections in each of the 13 states elect members of their respective state legislative assembly. As Malaysia follows the Westminster system of government, the head of government (Prime Minister at the federal level and the Menteri Besar/Chief Ministers at the state level) is the person who commands the confidence of the majority of members in the respective legislature – this is normally the leader of the party or coalition with the majority of seats in the legislature.

The Legislative Assembly consists of 56 members, known as Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), that are elected for five-year terms. Each MLA is elected from a single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post voting system; each constituency contains approximately an equal number of voters. If one party obtains a majority of seats, then that party is entitled to form the government, with its leader becoming the Chief Minister. In the event of a hung parliament, where no single party obtains the majority of seats, the government may still form through a coalition or a confidence and supply agreement with other parties. In practice, coalitions and alliances in Malaysia, and by extension, in Johor, generally persist between elections, and member parties do not normally contest for the same seats.

Sultan Ibrahim consented to the advice and the assembly was officially dissolved.

It also stated another adjustment is the removal of the requirement for the voter to have been in Malaysia for a certain period during the 5-year term of the previous state assembly.

MUDA also clarified that the seat negotiations with PKR are still ongoing to "achieve unity in facing this election"[59] The three parties also said they would combine their election machinery to support all of their candidates as they were about to move on as election strategic partners although MUDA is not part of PH and this is in line with the "big camp" principle to unite all Opposition parties to take on the ruling BN coalition.

He also warned that the Opposition would be going all out to discredit BN in an effort to win votes and BN needed everyone to play their parts especially its cybertroopers as well as saying that BN lost in the 2018 state election due to the weak performance of its social media teams. Hasni warned BN of the need to limit numbers attending its events to comply with COVID-19 SOPs and it is not having the election to celebrate the past winning streak but to bring development to the state and return the previous glory of Johor under BN. BN Deputy Chairman Mohamad Hasan also warned BN of not being complacent after its landslide victory in the 2021 Melaka state election by saying that every elections are different as well as adding that BN set a key performance index (KPI), aiming to win at least 13 out of 15 state seats in the central region of Johor after winning only 7 in the 2018 state election. He also reminded BN component parties not to fight against each other due to disagreements in small issues like candidate nominations, seat allocations and so on that created disunity among BN that he said could affect the chance of winning in the election and had resulted in the defeat of BN in the 2018 state election, not due to the strength of PH.

Controversies and issues

On 27 February 2022, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said he will review a video depicting former prime minister Najib Razak purportedly violating Covid-19 standard operating procedure (SOP) during a campaign visit in Perling.[104]

On 10 March 2022, Khairy revealed that his ministry had issued 42 compound notices for the violation of SOPs during the campaign period for the Johor election, including five to Najib.[105][106][107]

Aftermath

Onn Hafiz Ghazi, elected MLA for Machap, were sworn in as the new Menteri Besar of Johor on 15 March, replacing Hasni.[108] The EXCO members were sworn in on 26 March.[109]

Main article: 2022 Malaysian general election

Eventhough the results of the Malaysian general election in November 2022 saw the historic formation of federal government consisting of the alliance between Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional, the status quo is not changed for the government in Johor.[110] As of January 2023, PH is still an opposition party in the state assembly, although according to Johor PH chairman, the relationship between PH and BN is 'good'.[111]

The elected MLA for Simpang Jeram, Salahuddin Ayub (who is also the MP for Pulai, Johor PH chairman, and then Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living) died on 23 July 2023, necessitating the 2023 Simpang Jeram by-election for the state seat (and the 2023 Pulai by-election for the federal seat).[112] The by-election saw the first collaboration between BN and PH at Johor state level, as BN acceded to PH to put its candidate there, as well as campaigning together.[113] Both seats were retained by PH in the by-election.

After MUDA's president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman announced his party's support withdrawal of the unity government at federal level on 10 September 2023 in protest of UMNO and BN president Zahid Hamidi recent discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) of his 47 court cases, the sole MUDA representative at Johor assembly, Puteri Wangsa's MLA Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz announced the day after that she also withdraws from the state government coalition and will be in the opposition bloc (now known as Balancer Bloc in the Johor assembly), though not in coalition with PN.[114][115]
