Negeri Sembilan polls: BN-PN wins supermajority of 25 seats, as Anwar’s PH suffers another setback
BN and PN said their 25-seat win gives them a two-thirds majority and control of the state assembly, a setback for Anwar Ibrahim's coalition.
- On Saturday, the Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional coalitions captured 25 of 36 seats in the Negeri Sembilan state election, securing a legislative supermajority and ending Pakatan Harapan's two-term governance.
- This defeat marks a third consecutive setback for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's PH pact, following losses in Johor and Sabah; PH secured only 11 seats, down from 17 previously.
- Caretaker Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun lost in Linggi, while Transport Minister Anthony Loke failed to defend Chennah; Loke is considering stepping down as DAP's state chairman.
- BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi celebrated the result, announcing plans to finalize the new state government's formation after seeking an audience with state ruler Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
- Voter turnout reached 72.64 percent, with analyst Mujibu Abd Muis suggesting local issues influenced outcomes more than national narratives; coalitions now pivot toward the impending Melaka election.
