BASED on the recent State election results for both Johor and Negeri Sembilan, I believe the BN - PN formula will form the next Federal government and possibly win a clean sweep of all the State elections in the Penisular.

The total combined seats won by BN and PN in 2022 is 98. The magic number to form government is 112. Only 14 additional parliamentary seats needed.

Discounting the political alignment of East Malaysian parties from Sabah and Sarawak, I believe that based on the current trajectory, it is highly likely that BN - PN will easily form the simple majority post GE16.

That would also mean that GPS and GRS will no longer play the role of king maker.#~Borneo Herald™
