Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin arrived at the Pagoh Sports Complex Hall at 8:45 a.m. on June 27 to accompany Perikatan Nasional candidate Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal for the Bukit Kepong state seat nomination in Johor [1, 2].
More than 300 supporters gathered outside the nomination centre in Pagoh, showing strong backing for both Muhyiddin and Sahruddin [1, 2, 3]. The nomination process took place smoothly under tight police supervision, with weather reported as generally clear across Johor [3].
Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal holds key leadership roles as Johor Bersatu chairman and Johor Perikatan Nasional chairman [1, 2, 3]. He is the former 17th Johor Menteri Besar and had represented Bukit Kepong since 2018 until the dissolution of the state assembly earlier in 2026 [1, 2, 3].
Nomination day for the 16th Johor state election was held simultaneously across multiple constituencies, with senior figures from Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional also accompanying their candidates at various nomination centres [3].
The next step is the Johor state election, scheduled following the nomination proceedings held today.
