Johor: PAS respects the choice and mandate of the Johor electorate in determining the state's leadership, says Johor PAS commissioner Datuk Dr Mahfodz Mohamed. He congratulated Barisan Nasional (BN), led by Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, for securing a sufficient majority to form the new Johor State Government.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Johor PAS, together with Perikatan Nasional, will remain steadfast in strengthening their commitment and continuing their struggle for religion, race, and the welfare of the people, as preparation for the 16th General Election. This statement reflects the party's resolve to focus on long-term goals despite the recent election results.

Meanwhile, Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali stated that the party would conduct a detailed review of the Johor election results to identify strategic measures to strengthen its political efforts. This move indicates a proactive approach by Bersatu to understand and adapt to the political landscape of Johor.

Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) leader Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli confirmed that all 15 of the party's candidates had lost their election deposits after failing to secure the minimum number of votes. He emphasized that Bersama would study the election results thoroughly to improve their approach in winning the support of voters in the future. Despite the setback, Rafizi highlighted the valuable experience gained from campaigning, which is crucial for a party that is only 52 days old.

The 16th Johor State Election, held today, saw BN secure a simple majority after winning 29 of the 56 state seats as of 10.32 pm. At the time of the announcement, Pakatan Harapan (PH) had won two seats, while Perikatan Nasional (PN), Bersama, the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA), Parti Orang Asli Malaysia, Parti Sosialis Malaysia, and Independent candidates had yet to win any seats.
