Zahid blocks no-confidence motion against Negeri Sembilan MB

Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has vowed to prevent Negeri Sembilan Umno from tabling a no-confidence motion against Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim at the upcoming state assembly meeting. Sources claim that Negeri Sembilan Umno is considering such a move, with Jalaluddin Alias, the state chapter's chief, potentially tabling the motion.

However, the final decision falls on the central Umno leadership. If the no-confidence vote were to proceed, a new state executive council lineup might also be announced. The next state assembly meeting is set to begin on November 26, after being postponed from October 16 to accommodate the tabling of the state budget for 2027 the following day.

Jalaluddin has firmly denied these allegations, stating that no discussions regarding the matter have taken place. He emphasized that the state administration is functioning smoothly and there is no leadership crisis.
