Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will join the Johor election campaign, attending Pakatan Harapan's grand finale event two days before polling day. The statement was made on June 27, 2026, as reported by local media.
Saifuddin, who is also the Pakatan Harapan secretary-general, confirmed the plans during a press conference. He did not specify the exact location or time of the event but emphasized that Anwar's presence aims to boost support for the coalition's candidates.
The Johor state election is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, with campaigning intensifying across the state. Pakatan Harapan is contesting all 56 state seats, facing off against Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional.
Anwar's involvement underscores the importance of Johor as a key battleground. The prime minister has been actively campaigning in other states as well, focusing on economic issues and stability.
