Three strikes, DAP’s out? Loss in Malaysia’s Negeri Sembilan puts coalition on notice

The Malaysian ruling coalition, Pakatan Harapan (PH), suffered a series of electoral defeats in the Negeri Sembilan state poll, marking its third consecutive loss in eight months. This series of setbacks has forced the coalition to confront the challenges of governing alongside former rivals. The Democratic Action Party (DAP), PH's largest component, saw its Secretary General Anthony Loke lose his Chennah seat, further highlighting the party's struggles.

The losses have raised concerns about DAP's ability to retain its traditional support base and maintain its position within the unity government.
