Kuala lumpur: Four political parties, including Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), were unable to secure any seats in the 16th Negeri Sembilan state elections.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, in addition to Bersatu, Parti Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia (Berjasa), Parti Orang Asli Malaysia (ASLI), and Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) also did not win the seats they contested. Bersatu, which participated independently in 24 of the 36 state seats, not only failed to achieve a single victory but also lost the Labu seat, which it had previously secured in the 2023 state election.

The official Election Commission (EC) results highlighted that the Labu incumbent, Mohamad Hanifah Abu Baker, was defeated by Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Siti Nur Umaira Hasim in a three-cornered contest that also included Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Datuk Ahmad Faez Abdul Razak.

Meanwhile, Berjasa's sole candidate, Zamani Ibrahim, was unsuccessful in a four-cornered contest for the Nilai seat. ASLI candidate Dayana Dal, the party's only female candidate, was unable to win the Jeram Padang seat.

PSM's candidate, S. Tinagaran, known as Cikgu Tina, also lost in a four-cornered contest for the Rahang seat. Additionally, Independent candidates contesting the Nilai and Lukut seats, as well as two others in the Sri Tanjung seat, did not secure victories.

In this election, PH contested all 36 seats, followed by BN with 25 seats, Bersatu with 24, and Perikatan Nasional (PN) with 11. Berjasa, ASLI, and PSM each fielded one candidate, alongside four Independent candidates.
