MB N Sembilan akan hadapi usul tidak percaya?

Umno Negeri Sembilan is reportedly considering a motion of no confidence against Chief Minister Ismail Lasim for the upcoming Dewan Undangan Negeri session, according to sources. The motion is allegedly to be proposed by Umno's State Chief Jalaluddin Alias, who is also an Adun Pertang. The final decision rests with Umno's central leadership, and a new batch of state-level exco members may be announced if the move proceeds.

FMT is attempting to obtain comments from Jalaluddin regarding this matter. The Dewan Undangan Negeri session is scheduled to begin on November 26, following its postponement from October 16 to align with the state's 2027 budget announcement. State Speaker Awaludin Said had earlier clarified that his party has not received any official notice of the no-confidence motion against Ismail, emphasizing that it will not allow such a move to topple the Chief Minister.

Ismail assumed office as Chief Minister on August 2 following the PRN, with the National Front securing 18 seats, Pakatan Harapan 11, and Perikatan Nasional winning seven seats. However, his administration is facing a constitutional crisis due to the attempt to remove Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as the Yang Di Pertuan Besar. He reportedly signed the proclamation to relinquish the throne on August 3 but claims he was forced to do so, and this was made public on September 8.

On September 15, the state's exco released a statement claiming that the removal of Tuanku Muhriz on April was valid, making Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar the new state government. Ismail subsequently endorsed the exco's claim and directed the state administration to continue the process of validating the proclamation. Since then, Tuanku Muhriz has annulled the appointment of all 10 exco members, except Ismail.

Recently, the 10 former exco members filed a legal challenge in court to have their reappointment declared invalid.
