Political instability after 14 assemblymen withdrew support has pushed Pakatan leaders to back dissolution as the best way to resolve the impasse.
- On Friday, Negeri Sembilan state ruler Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir consented to dissolve the legislative assembly, clearing the path for snap polls as confirmed by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.
- Political instability began in late April when 14 Barisan Nasional assemblymen from Umno withdrew support for Aminuddin's administration, prompting Pakatan leaders to identify dissolution as the most viable option.
- Parties are now preparing to contest all 36 seats, following the Aug 12, 2023 polls where Pakatan won 17 seats and Barisan Nasional 14.
- Tentative seat allocations for the election have been agreed upon by Pakatan Harapan leaders, involving PKR, the Democratic Action Party, and Amanah dividing the 36-member assembly seats.
- Aminuddin confirmed that seat allocations will be officially finalized next week, as senior leaders including Democratic Action Party's Anthony Loke and Amanah's Ibrahim Abd Rahman work to finalize the strategy.
