7-term rep Ismail Lasim is 10th Negeri Sembilan MB
Umno’s Juasseh assemblyman takes over the post from Aminuddin Harun after the PKR vice-president led the state for two terms.
In a recent development, Ismail Lasim, a seven-term representative from Juasseh, has been sworn in as the 10th Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan. This appointment follows the BN-Perikatan Nasional alliance's decisive win in the state's 16th election. The swearing-in ceremony took place at Istana Besar Seri Menanti, with the presence of several notable figures including the outgoing state assembly speaker and BN-PN assemblymen.
Ismail Lasim, now 63, previously held the position from 2018 to 2023, under PKR vice-president Aminuddin Harun's leadership. He secured his current seat with a significant majority of 4,091 votes, marking his seventh consecutive term in the assembly. Prior to his tenure as Juasseh assemblyman, Ismail served as a Senaling assemblyman from 1999 to 2018 before moving to his current constituency.
He has held various executive councillor positions in the state government since 2008, first under Mohamad's administration and then under Aminuddin's, following his return to the state government in 2023. The election results saw BN securing 18 seats, PN with seven, and PH winning the remaining 11.
