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

Muhammad Kamil, who is national PKR Youth deputy chief and the division Youth chief, polled 532 votes to beat Lukman Yahaya, who obtained only 85 votes.
Zaini Hasan retained his position as division deputy chief.
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 said focus would also be given to preparing the party machinery at the division level to ensure the Unity Government remains in power in Putrajaya after the 16th General Election (GE16).
"This is no easy task and preparations for GE16 must be prioritised, as it serves as a benchmark for us to uphold the legacy of the Unity Government,” he told Bernama today.

The PKR divisional elections will run from April 11 to 20 while the central leadership polls, including for the Youth and Wanita wings, will be held on May 24. - Bernama
