Voters in Johor Lama go to the polls on July 11, 2026, as part of the 16th Johor State Election. Here is what to know about the contest in Johor Lama — and where the result will appear once counting is done.
Pakatan Harapan's candidate in Johor Lama is Danish Rahman, standing for Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) within the PH coalition chaired by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. PH announced its full slate of 56 Johor candidates on June 22, 2026.
Pakatan Harapan is contesting all 56 Johor state seats, setting up multi-cornered races across the state against Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional and other contesters. Before the assembly was dissolved on June 1, 2026, Barisan Nasional held 40 of the 56 seats. A coalition needs a simple majority of at least 29 seats to form the Johor government, so every constituency — including Johor Lama — counts toward that total. The full list of candidates contesting Johor Lama is confirmed on Nomination Day, June 27, 2026.
Polling day is July 11, 2026, with early voting for eligible military and police personnel on July 7. Malaysia uses a first-past-the-post system, so the candidate with the most votes in Johor Lama wins the seat outright. Voters can confirm their polling centre for Johor Lama using the Election Commission's MySPR Semak tool before heading to the polls.
