Negeri Sembilan polls: As BN-PN rides Malay-Muslim support to win big, what next for them and Malaysian politics?
Analysts say the supermajority win by Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional in Negeri Sembilan could prompt the two former rivals to deepen their partnership.
Analysts are predicting that the Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalitions' supermajority victory in Negeri Sembilan state elections could lead to a deeper partnership between the two. The recently concluded election saw the alliance winning 25 of the 36 state assembly seats, giving them a two-thirds majority that would allow them to amend the state constitution.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition will face pressure following the outcome, as they won only 11 seats in Negeri Sembilan, down from 17 in the last election. Analysts believe that the message from voters is clear, and BN and PN will move forward to deepen their cooperation.
