Jalaluddin nafi dakwaan kemuka usul tidak percaya MB N Sembilan

Ketua Umno Negeri Sembilan, Jalaluddin Alias, has denied claims that he plans to lodge a no-confidence motion against the State's Chief Minister, Ismail Lasim, ahead of the upcoming Dewan Undi Nasional (DUN) session. Jalaluddin, who is also an Adun Pertang, informed FMT that there have been no discussions on this matter. "It is completely untrue. There is no rule or discussion to lodge a no-confidence motion against the Chief Minister," he added, emphasizing that he has no reason to do so.

Jalaluddin stressed that the governance of Negeri Sembilan is currently running smoothly without any leadership crisis. The current situation is favorable, with Ismail handling his duties as Chief Minister. He also pledged to work towards the state's and society's interests, along with the party's leadership. Jalaluddin made these remarks in response to a report alleging that Umno Negeri Sembilan was considering lodging a no-confidence motion against Ismail.

According to the unnamed source, Jalaluddin himself may propose the motion, but it would be subject to the central Umno leadership. The source reportedly stated that the junior executive committee (exco) may also be announced if the move proceeds. The upcoming DUN session is scheduled for November 26, following a postponement from October 16 to align it with the state's budget announcement for 2027.

Speaker of DUN, Awaludin Said, had previously clarified that his party had not received any official notice regarding the no-confidence motion against Ismail, asserting that he would not allow such a motion to be launched. Ismail took the oath of office as Chief Minister on August 2, following the PRN elections where Barisan Nasional won 18 seats, Pakatan Harapan 11, and Perikatan Nasional secured seven seats.
