SHAH ALAM – Former Melaka police chief Datuk Razali Abu Samah has defeated former deputy minister Tun Faisal Ismail in the Sikamat state constituency in the Negeri Sembilan state election, based on unofficial results.

Razali, who is from the newly formed Parti Wawasan Negara and contested under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) banner, secured 13,122 votes, defeating Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Nor Azman Mohamad, who garnered 9,713 votes.

Tun Faisal, who contested under Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), received 481 votes.

Razali won by a majority of 3,409 votes based on the unofficial tally.

Unofficial results showed the BN-PN alliance winning at least 19 of the state's 36 seats, crossing the threshold required to form the next state government.

Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki has unofficially claimed victory in the Negeri Sembilan state election, saying that the BN-PN alliance has secured enough seats to form the state government.

He claimed that the BN-PN coalition had secured a two-thirds majority, leading in 25 of the 36 state constituencies.
