Summary
Johor DAP chairman Teo Nie Ching said DAP will dissect the factors behind each defeat and other contested areas, before drawing lessons and addressing its weaknesses. — Bernama pic First Published: Sunday, 12 Jul 2026 11:18 AM MYT JOHOR BAHRU, July 12 — DAP Johor will conduct a comprehensive review to determine why it lost several state assembly seats in the 16th Johor election, including Jementah and Tangkak. Perikatan Nasional (PN), which fielded 33 candidates comprising 16 from Bersatu, 11 from PAS, five from Malaysian Indian People's Party (MIPP) and one from Pejuang, had the highest number of candidates losing their deposits, with 21. Meanwhile, seven candidates from the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition lost their deposits.
Furthermore, Candidates aged between 18 and 40 recorded the highest proportion of deposit losses, accounting for 41 per cent or 21 of the 51 candidates in that age group who contested. Official results published on the Election Commission’s (EC) website showed that PN not only failed to expand its influence, but also lost the three state seats it won in the 2022 state polls, namely Bukit Kepong, Maharani and Endau. For BN, Umno won 36 seats, MCA eight and MIC four.
In addition, BN retained its grip on Johor, sweeping 48 of 56 state seats, while PH secured just eight. "Although PH's vote share increased in both seats, it still fell short," she said, adding that DAP respects the mandate given by Johor voters and congratulated BN on its victory.
