His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King, granted an audience to Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at Istana Pasir Pelangi today.
A post shared on Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s official Facebook page stated that Johor BN chairman Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi was also present during the meeting, which lasted nearly an hour.
The audience came a day after BN secured a landslide victory in the Johor state election, winning 48 out of the 56 State Legislative Assembly seats contested.
Of the seats won by BN, Umno secured 36, while MCA captured eight seats and MIC won the remaining four.
Meanwhile, Pakatan Harapan (PH), which contested all 56 seats, managed to secure only eight victories.
Other parties including Perikatan Nasional (PN), Parti Bersama Malaysia, Muda, Parti Orang Asli Malaysia (Asli), Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) and independent candidates failed to win any seats in the election.
The outcome reaffirmed BN’s strong position in Johor after the coalition regained a significant majority in the state assembly.
