DKU reaffirms Tuanku Muhriz remains Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan

The Negri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) has reasserted that Tuanku Muhriz remains the Yang di-Pertuan Besar, despite ongoing disputes. DKU secretary Raja Norazli Raja Nordin confirmed that Tuanku Muhriz was elected in 2008 and officially installed in 2009, serving as chairman of the DKU. The constitution allows for the position to be vacated only if the Undangs request Tuanku Muhriz's abdication or resignation, after a thorough investigation by the Undangs, approval of the grounds for abdication, and a formal proclamation.

However, none of these criteria have been met, indicating no vacancy in the office. Tuanku Muhriz has continued to fulfill his duties as Yang di-Pertuan Besar since April 19, 2025, while the council remains chaired by him. No other person is recognized as holding this position.
