KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim expressed hope that the upcoming 17th Sabah State Election (PRN17) campaign will proceed smoothly, with the contesting parties providing the best choices for all the people of the state.

"Be careful in your discussions, campaign well, and offer the best choices for the people," he told reporters after delivering a special address at the Khazanah Megatrends Forum 2025 here today.

The Sabah State Legislative Assembly (DUN) was dissolved today to pave the way for the 17th Sabah State Election (PRN17), after receiving the consent of the Sabah Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Musa Aman.

The Sabah DUN has 73 seats.

The 16th State Election (PRN16) in 2020 saw GRS (Gabungan Rakyat Sabah), which at the time was in a coalition with Perikatan Nasional, Barisan Nasional (BN), and PBS, along with the support of independent Assemblymen, successfully forming the Sabah government by securing 41 out of the 73 seats.

Parti Warisan meanwhile, won 23 seats while Pakatan Harapan (PH) managed to secure nine seats.
