# Six state elections return a 3–3 map as Perikatan takes 146 of 245 seats

Date: 2023

## The fact

On 12 August 2023 six state assemblies voted. Anwar’s PH-BN unity pact kept Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan; Perikatan Nasional kept Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu and took 146 of 245 seats to the government’s 99. It is not a federal resignation.

## Context

GE15 hung. PAS led a Malay-heartland green wave. He does not sit as those menteri besar. SPR canvassed.

GE15 is the parent federal contest. Johor 2026 is a later child setback.

The Prime Minister of Malaysia advises the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, chairs Cabinet, and is appointed under Articles 40 and 43 of the Federal Constitution. He does not write Bank Negara Malaysia policy rates, does not sit as every state menteri besar, and does not author a United States or China statute. A 1999–2018 prosecution or pardon cluster is not a 2023 subsidy. Allegation is not a completed personal conviction unless a court so held. A 2027 general election is not this page’s completed Fact. As of 27 August 2026 he remains prime minister.

## Evidence and sources

Election Commission of Malaysia carries the official instrument or communique. Associated Press records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is political polarisation and [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed green-wave state map polarised the unity years without toppling Putrajaya.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 12 August 2023 3–3 state map and PN’s 146-seat haul, independently reported.

Not established: that the federal government uniquely fell that night, or a unique later 2027 coefficient.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

SPR canvassed. He led the federal unity brand. State menteri besar sit on their own rows.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Six state elections return a 3–3 map as Perikatan takes 146 of 245 seats, not a later speech about Six state elections return a 3–3 map as Perikatan takes 146 of 245 seats.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Six state elections return a 3–3 map as Perikatan takes 146 of 245 seats on 2023-08-12 is not a licence to treat every later Election Commission of Malaysia communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Six state elections return a 3–3 map as Perikatan takes 146 of 245 seats into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Voters chose. SPR canvassed. He led the federal unity brand. State menteri besar sit on their own rows. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
