Which parties form the new coalition in Johor?

Question

Accepted Answer

The new coalition in Johor comprises Bersatu, Barisan Nasional (BN), and PAS.

Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) announced it has the backing of 28 out of 56 assemblymen, asserting its qualification to lead the state. This announcement comes amidst a political impasse, effectively resulting in a hung government in Johor. The PH coalition claims the support of nine assemblymen from Amanah, 14 from DAP, and five from PKR.
PH Secures Support from 28 Assemblymen

Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) stated that it commands the support of 28 state lawmakers. This bloc includes all representatives from DAP, PKR, and Amanah. Among those present to show solidarity were Simpang Jeram assemblyman Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub and Pemanis assemblyman Dr Chong Fat Full, who had been previously reported to support the opposing coalition.
Bersatu, BN, and PAS Form Alliance

Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal had indicated that a newly formed coalition, consisting of the state chapters of Bersatu, Barisan Nasional (BN), and PAS, was preparing to form the state government. This unnamed coalition had reportedly received the endorsement of Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. The Johor Palace had previously issued a statement expressing the Sultan's hope for the swift formation of a new coalition government due to the ongoing deadlock in the state.
Political Landscape in Johor

Previously, PH held 39 seats in the 56-member Johor state assembly. This composition included 14 seats from DAP, 11 from Bersatu, nine from Parti Amanah Negara, and five from PKR. Bersatu's withdrawal from PH occurred on Monday, following the resignation of its chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as prime minister. Dr Mahathir Mohamad has since been appointed interim prime minister and reinstated as Bersatu chairman.
