The 2020 Sabah state election took place on 26 September 2020[1] to elect all 73 elected members of the 16th Sabah State Legislative Assembly. The previous Assembly was dissolved on 30 July 2020.[2]

The state snap election was called prematurely after a political crisis arose. Both Shafie Apdal, incumbent Chief Minister and leader of Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition government and Musa Aman, leader of Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition opposition claimed to have the majority to form the government. However, the Governor of Sabah, Juhar Mahiruddin decided to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly on the advice of Shafie.[3]

The state election was conducted under the New Normal and special standard operating procedures (SOP) imposed by the Electoral Commission (EC) as the country is still observing the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) due to COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition won the election with a simple majority of 38 seats. The coalition consists of United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) (14) From Barisan National Party seat - Won 14 seats and Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU) (11), Homeland Solidarity Party (STAR) (6) From Perikatan Nasional Party seat - Won 17 seats with supported by United Sabah Party (PBS) (7). Hajiji Noor from BERSATU - Perikatan Nasional Party was sworn in as Chief Minister 3 days later. Perikatan Nasional with 17 seats, Barisan Nasional with 14 seats, and PBS with 7 seats made Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) the biggest electoral coalition in Sabah since September 2020.

Background

The 14th general election witnessed 29 seats from the government side and 31 seats from the non-government side filled the State Legislative Assembly. This count, however, did not include six seats from United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO) and four from UMNO that switched allegiance from Musa to Shafie. The government side has 11 safe seats and four fairly safe seats, while the non-government side has two safe seats and fivefairly safe seats.

COVID-19 pandemic

Main article: COVID-19 pandemic in Sabah

Following the Sabah state government's announcement on 9 August that the state election would be held on 26 September, several members of the public and democracy observers urged local authorities to consider postal voting due to the ongoing pandemic and in order to reduce virus transmissions during the election.[11][12] On 21 August, the High Court dismissed an appeal by 33 Sabah assemblymen against Governor Juhar Mahiruddin's consent for the dissolution of Sabah's legislative assembly, allowing the state election to go ahead.[13][14] On 11 September, the Federal Court dismissed Datuk Jahid Noordin Jahim's appeal to stop the election, allowing nominations to proceed the following day.[15]

The return of voters and politicians from Sabah to Peninsular Malaysia has caused a significant influx of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. Daily reported cases increased to three digit numbers. Several of these ministers and politicians had reportedly not complied with standard procedures around COVID-19.[16][17][18] On 14 October, the Federal Government announced the implementation of a Conditional Movement Control Order in Selangor, Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur due to the rising number of cases.[19][20]
