Incumbent Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak Barisan Nasional

The 14th Malaysian general election (GE14) will elect members of the 14th Parliament of Malaysia on or before 24 August 2018. The 13th Parliament of Malaysia will automatically dissolve on 24 June 2018.^[2]

The Constitution of Malaysia requires that a general election be held at least once every five years. However, the Prime Minister can ask the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dissolve the Parliament at any time before this five-year period has expired. A general election should be held no later than two months in West Malaysia and three months for East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) after the dissolution of the Parliament.

Dissolution of state legislative assemblies

While any state may dissolve its assembly independently of the Federal Parliament, the traditional practice is for most state assemblies to be dissolved at the same time as Parliament. In accordance with Malaysian law, the parliament as well as the legislative assemblies of each state (Dewan Undangan Negeri) would automatically dissolve on the fifth anniversary of the first sitting, and elections must be held within sixty days of the dissolution, unless dissolved prior to that date by their respective Heads of State on the advice of their Heads of Government.

Below are the dates of which the legislative assembly of each state would automatically dissolve:

Opinion polls

Poll results

Preferred party

Percentages based on polling results in the Malaysian general election, 2013. UMNO, MCA, MIC, PBB, Gerakan, SUPP, PBS,PRS, SPDP and UPKO are all part of the Barisan Nasional coalition, the coalition that forms the incumbent government.

Note that simple percentages is not a good predictor of which party will win the next election – in 2013, Barisan Nasional won 133 seats in the 222-seat Dewan Rakyat, enough for a simple majority, despite the opposition Pakatan Rakyat winning a larger share of the popular vote.
