The 14th Perak State election was held on 9 May 2018. The previous state election was held on 5 May 2013. Each of the state assemblymen are elected to a five-year term each.

The Perak State Legislative Assembly automatically dissolved on 28 June 2018, the fifth anniversary of the first sitting, and elections were required to be held within sixty days (two months) of the dissolution (on or before 28 August 2018, with the date to be decided by the Election Commission), unless dissolved prior to that date by the Head of State (Sultan of Perak) on the advice of the Head of Government (Menteri Besar of Perak).

Pakatan Harapan (PH) gained a plurality in the election, winning 29 seats but still short of 1 seat for a simple majority win,[1] until 2 MLAs from Barisan Nasional (BN) quit their parties to support PH, enabling it to form the state government.[2] Ahmad Faizal Azumu, from BERSATU, was sworn in as Menteri Besar on 12 May 2018, while the state EXCO members were sworn in on 19 May 2020.[3]

Aftermath

Two MLAs from BN who stated their support for PH, Zainol Fadzi Paharudin and Nolee Ashilin Mohammed Radzi, despite their insistence they are not quitting the party for supporting PH, were automatically sacked by UMNO and BN on 14 May 2018.[14] They both later joined Bersatu.

The Pakatan Harapan state government led by Ahmad Faizal only lasts 22 months, when in the wake of 2020 Malaysian political crisis and exit of Bersatu MLAs from PH resulted in a new state government under a coalition between BN and Perikatan Nasional (Bersatu and PAS) in March 2020, with Ahmad Faizal re-appointed as Menteri Besar. That government, in turn only lasted another 9 months before Ahmad Faizal lost a vote of confidence motion tabled by BN, resulting in his resignation and another new government formed and led by BN's Saarani Mohammad in December 2020.
