SEREMBAN — Negeri Sembilan Umno chief Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias has firmly rejected allegations of a plot to unseat the state's Menteri Besar, characterizing reports of internal machinations as unfounded.
Jalaluddin stressed that party officials have not broached the subject of a no-confidence vote against the Menteri Besar at any formal or informal gathering. He dismissed speculation surrounding leadership changes within the state administration as baseless conjecture.
The denial comes amid ongoing political scrutiny in Negeri Sembilan, where questions about executive stability have periodically surfaced. Jalaluddin's statement underscores the Umno leadership's commitment to maintaining the current government structure.
The party chief's remarks aim to quell mounting speculation and reassure stakeholders about the continuity of state governance. Jalaluddin reiterated that Umno remains focused on delivering development and administrative performance rather than engaging in internal political maneuvers.
The statement reflects broader efforts by the coalition to project political stability ahead of potential state-level developments.
