The 14th Selangor state election was held on 9 May 2018 to elect the State Assemblymen of the 14th Selangor State Legislative Assembly, the legislature of the Malaysian state of Selangor.[1]
The Selangor State Legislative Assembly was dissolved in a simple ceremony on 9 April 2018 by Sharafuddin of Selangor.[2][3] Alternatively, the legislative would automatically dissolve on 21 June 2018, the fifth anniversary of the first sitting, and elections must be held within sixty days (two months) of the dissolution (on or before 21 August 2018, with the date to be decided by the Election Commission of Malaysia), if it was not dissolved prior to that date by the Head of State, Sultan of Selangor on the advice of the Head of Government, Menteri Besar of Selangor.[4]
The election was conducted by the Malaysian Election Commission and utilised the first-past-the-post system. Electoral candidates were nominated on 28 April.[1] On 9 May, between 8.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. Malaysian time (UTC+8), polling was held in all 56 state constituencies throughout Selangor; each constituency elects a single State Assemblyman to the state legislature. The incumbent party Pakatan Harapan won a supermajority of 51 seats and was able to form a government, securing a third term. The opposition Barisan Nasional won 4 seats while Gagasan Sejahtera won 1 seat.[5] Azmin Ali returned as the Menteri Besar of Selangor before releasing his position a little over a month later to take the position in the Cabinet of Malaysia as the Minister of Economic Affairs.[6][7] Amirudin Shari succeeded him as the 16th Menteri Besar of Selangor and was sworn in on 19 June 2018.[8]
