  "account": "Pakatan Harapan (PH) has seen a significant decline of nearly 5% in its vote share in the State Election of Negeri Sembilan, as compared to the 2015 General Election, according to former MP Ong Kian Ming. The PH managed to secure 39.7% of the popular votes in the 2026 PRN, whereas they achieved 44.4% during the 2015 General Election.\n\nThe primary reason behind the decline, as Ong believes, is the diminishing divide between the Malay voters and the support between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN). The combined support of these two alliances has garnered over 55% of the popular votes, which is sufficient to win a comfortable majority of the constituencies using the 'first-past-the-post' electoral system.\n\nOng also mentioned that the Malay vote share for PH in the Negeri Sembilan election was estimated to be around 8%, but the majority of the Malay voters, who are expected to support BN or PN, give more than 7% advantage to BN and PN candidates. In the case of Chinese voters, over 90% of them expressed support for PH; however, this was not enough to save Loke Siew Fook, a DAP secretary, in the Chennah constituency, which has approximately 40% Chinese voters, 60% Malay voters, and a significant amount of support for BN-MCA candidates.",
