Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari Abang Openg formed the second Abang Johari cabinet after being invited by Abdul Taib Mahmud to begin a new government following the victory in the 18 December 2021 general election in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia.[1] In order to be the Premier, Abang Johari was immediately sworn in before the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak on the same day that night. Prior to the election, Abang Johari led (as Premier) the first Abang Johari cabinet, a coalition government that consisted of members of the component parties of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (previously it was the Sarawak Barisan Nasional-led cabinet).

The new Cabinet line-up was announced by Abang Johari on 30 December 2021.[2] The ministers and deputy ministers were then sworn in before the governor on 4 January 2022.
