The Government of Selangor, officially the State Government of Selangor, refers to the government authority of the Malaysian state of Selangor. The state government adheres to and is created by both the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, the supreme law of Malaysia, and the Constitution of the State of Selangor, the supreme law in Selangor. The government of Selangor is based in Shah Alam, the state's capital city.

The state government consists of only two branches – executive and legislative. The Selangor State Executive Council forms the executive branch, whilst the Selangor State Legislative Assembly is the legislature of the state government. Selangor's head of government is the Menteri Besar. The state government does not have a judiciary branch, as Malaysia's judicial system is a federalised system operating uniformly throughout the country.^[2]^[3]

Executive

Head of government

The Menteri Besar is the head of government in Selangor. He is officially appointed by the Sultan, Selangor's head of state, on the basis of the latter's judgement that the former commands the confidence of the majority of the State Assemblymen in the Selangor State Legislative Assembly.^[4] The Menteri Besar and his Executive Council shall be collectively responsible to Legislative Assembly. The Office of the Menteri Besar is situated inside Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Building in Shah Alam.

The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Building houses the Office of the Menteri Besar of Selangor, as well as other state government offices.

The Menteri Besar of Selangor is Amirudin Shari of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition that holds the most seats in the State Legislative Assembly among the three coalitions in the state assembly. Amirudin assumed office on 19 June 2018, having been elected as a Member of the State Legislative Assembly in the 2018 and 2023 state elections that also returned PH to power.^[5]

Cabinet

The Selangor State Executive Council forms the executive branch of the Selangor state government and is analogous in function to the Malaysian federal Cabinet. The Executive Council is led by the Menteri Besar and made up of between four and 10 other State Assemblymen from the Selangor State Legislative Assembly.^[4] Aside from these, three other ex officio members of the Executive Council are the State Secretary, the State Legal Adviser and the State Financial Officer.

Following the 2023 Selangor state election, Amirudin Shari was reappointed as the Menteri Besar after Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) were reelected to power and formed a coalition state government.^[6]

Legislature

Composition of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly after the 2023 Selangor state election.
  Pakatan Harapan (PH) holds 32 seats.
  Perikatan Nasional (PN) holds 22 seats.
  Barisan Nasional (BN) holds 2 seats.

The Selangor State Legislative Assembly is the legislative branch of the Selangor state government. The unicameral legislature consists of 56 seats that represent the 56 state constituencies within Selangor, with each constituency being represented by an elected State Assemblyman. The Legislative Assembly convenes at the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Building in Shah Alam.

The legislature has a maximum mandate of five years by law and follows a multi-party system; the ruling party (or coalition) is elected through a first-past-the-post system.^[4] The Sultan may dissolve the legislature at any time and usually does so upon the advice of the Menteri Besar.

A Speaker is elected by the Legislative Assembly to preside over the proceedings and debates of the legislature. The Speaker may or may not be an elected State Assemblyman; in the case of the latter, the elected Speaker shall become a member of the Legislative Assembly additional to the elected State Assemblymen already in the legislature.^[4]
