State elections in 2022 were held in Johor in March 2022 after the dissolution of the legislative assembly in January 2022.^[1] On 10 October 2022, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced in a special announcement on television that the Dewan Rakyat would be dissolved, hence paving way for the 15th General Election.^[2] Additionally, he recommended that other states with the exception of Johor, Malacca, Sarawak & Sabah do the same.

Consequently, Barisan Nasional Chairman, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi proclaimed that BN-led states (Perlis, Pahang & Perak) would be dissolved simultaneously.^[3]

On 14 October 2022, the Perlis and Pahang state legislatures were dissolved.^[4][5]
