The Nenggiri state by-election in Kelantan saw Barisan Nasional beating Perikatan Nasional with a 3,352-vote majority in a straight fight.

Aliran’s Dr Azmil Tayeb, a political scientist at Universiti Sains Malaysia, analyses the results with PN marking its worst by-election performance since the 2022 general election and discusses whether this signals a resurgent BN and Umno.
