Sabah is poised once again for a high-stakes political contest. The 17th Sabah State Election (PRN-17), expected later in 2025, will determine control of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly (73 seats). The outcome will influence Sabah’s relationship with Putrajaya, control of state resources, and the strength of Sabah-based versus peninsula-based parties.
