Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said there will be no change in the Negeri Sembilan government administration and Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun will remain Menteri Besar, despite reports that 14 Umno state assemblymen withdrew support [1]. Anwar said all parties, including Umno leadership, should stay calm and respect the order of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan for Aminuddin to continue his duties [1].
Anwar said the situation in Negeri Sembilan should remain calm and added that issues must be resolved in line with the state constitution, while the state government focuses on governing during an economic crisis [1]. He also said, “We can negotiate, but now let’s not disrupt efforts to revive the economy and protect the interests of the people. That’s what’s important” [1].
The comments came after a separate report said 14 Umno state assemblymen had withdrawn their support [1]. Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi later said all 14 Barisan Nasional assemblymen in Negeri Sembilan had agreed to remain with the Unity Government in the state [1]. Zahid said that decision followed discussions with the elected representatives involved [1].
On 2026-04-30, Zahid confirmed that all 14 BN assemblymen in Negeri Sembilan would stay with the Unity Government, and on 2026-05-01 Anwar said there would be no change in the state administration [1].
