PRN Johor (Unofficial): Ex-Johor MB Sahruddin on course to lose Bukit Kepong to BN

FORMER  Johor menteri besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal is on course for defeat in Bukit Kepong after Barisan Nasional (BN) surged into a commanding lead in the state seat, according to unofficial election results.

As of 7.32 pm, BN candidate Ahmad Syarie Yusof was leading with 2,744 votes, or 56.89%, well ahead of Pakatan Harapan’s Subramani Chami, who garnered 1,123 votes (23.28%).

Sahruddin, contesting under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) banner, trailed in third place with 956 votes, representing 19.82% of the ballots counted.

The result, if maintained until the final tally, would mark a significant setback for the former Johor MB, who served briefly as the state’s 17th menteri besar from 2019 to 2020 under the Pakatan Harapan administration. – July 11, 2026
