The BN-PN alliance swept to a two-thirds majority in the Aug 1 Negeri Sembilan polls – the first major election to witness a united front between Umno and PAS, Malaysia’s two largest Malay-Muslim parties.
Analysts expect the pact between the coalitions led by the two parties to consolidate the Malay vote once again, especially in a state where BN already has a commanding presence.
