Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun also successfully defended the Port Dickson division chief’s post for a second term.

Commenting on his victory, Muhammad Kamil said it should not be a cause for pride, but rather a mandate to be used responsibly to ensure the leadership and members at the division level become more competitive in various aspects.
He will also focus on preparing the party machinery at the division level to ensure the Unity Government remains in power in Putrajaya after the 16th General Election (GE16), he added.
