Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim holds the authority to advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on dissolving the 15th Parliament, whose maximum term ends with automatic dissolution on 19 December 2027 and elections no later than February 2028. As of mid-2026, the Dewan Rakyat remains active following the opening of its fifth session, with trader attention focused on the possibility of an earlier dissolution to align federal polls with state assembly elections in Melaka, Sarawak, or Johor and to manage coalition dynamics within the Pakatan Harapan-led government. Recent statements from Anwar and lawmakers have referenced both readiness for a snap election amid alliance pressures and a preference for completing the full term, while cost considerations and opposition positioning add variables ahead of any formal request for dissolution.
