Question

Accepted Answer

Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal Lost Bukit Kepong Seat in Three-Cornered Contest

In the recent Johor state election, former menteri besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal was unsuccessful in retaining the Bukit Kepong seat. He lost to Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Ahmad Syar’e Yusof in a contest that also featured Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate C. Subramani. This result contributed to a broader trend of Perikatan Nasional (PN) failing to secure any of the 33 state seats it contested in the election.
Defeat in Bukit Kepong

Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal, who was defending the Bukit Kepong constituency, was defeated by Ahmad Syar’e Yusof of BN. The election in Bukit Kepong was a three-way battle, with C. Subramani representing PH also vying for the seat. The outcome saw PN lose a seat that had previously been under its representation.
Perikatan Nasional's Overall Performance

The loss in Bukit Kepong was part of a significant setback for Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the 16th Johor State Election. The coalition fielded 33 candidates across various parties, including Bersatu, PAS, MIPP, and Pejuang, but failed to win any of the seats they contested. This marked a complete wipeout for PN in the state election.
Loss of Incumbencies

Beyond failing to gain new representation, PN also lost three seats it had previously won in the 2022 Johor state election. These included Bukit Kepong, Maharani, and Endau. In Maharani, PN candidate Mohamad Anuar Hayan could not retain the seat previously held by Abdul Aziz Talib. Similarly, in Endau, PN candidate Hasnul Hakimi Hussein was unable to secure the seat from BN’s Alwiyah Talib, who had previously won Endau under the PN banner in 2022.
