In politics, nothing is certain and so too, election dates.

| The 12th Sarawak State Election was due this year but a localised emergency was declared in August to stop the polls due to the raging Covid-19 pandemic.was declared for the period from Aug 2 to Feb 2 next year, but Sarawak leaders had said then that if the health situation improves, there is nothing to stop the state election from taking place within this period.

As it stands now, no one really knows what the exact election date is, not even Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg. And he is the one with the power to call for fresh polls. Last month, talk in Kuching was that Abang Johari was keen to call for elections before the year is over, meaning a likely December date.
