Election Commission to redraw constituency map pending constitutional changes

The Election Commission (EC) confirmed it will undertake a review of Malaysia's electoral constituency boundaries, contingent on changes to the Federal Constitution. EC chairman Ramlan Harun referenced Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's recent remarks about constitutional amendments that would raise the number of parliamentary seats for Sabah and Sarawak. The plan also calls for a recalibration of seats in Peninsular Malaysia to maintain proportional representation.

The EC said it will provide additional clarification after an official decision on the amendments is reached. No timeline was given, but the commission indicated it will keep the public informed of any developments.
