The Government of Negeri Sembilan, officially the State Government of Negeri Sembilan, refers to the government authority of the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan. The state government adheres to and is created by both the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, the supreme law of Malaysia, and the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959, the supreme law in Negeri Sembilan. The government of Negeri Sembilan is based in Seremban, the state's capital city.

The state government consists of only two branches – executive and legislative. The Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council forms the executive branch, whilst the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly is the legislature of the state government. Negeri Sembilan's head of government is the Menteri Besar. The state government does not have a judiciary branch, as Malaysia's judicial system is a federalised system operating uniformly throughout the country.[2][3]

Executive

Head of government

Main article: Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan

The Menteri Besar is the head of government in Negeri Sembilan. He is officially appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Negeri Sembilan's head of state, on the basis of the latter's judgement that the former commands the confidence of the majority of the State Assemblymen in the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly.[4] The Menteri Besar and his Executive Council shall be collectively responsible to Legislative Assembly. The Office of the Menteri Besar is situated inside Wisma Negeri Sembilan in Seremban.

The Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan is Aminuddin Harun of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition that holds the most seats in the State Legislative Assembly among the three coalitions in the state assembly. Amirudin assumed office on 12 May 2018, having been elected as a Member of the State Legislative Assembly in the 2008 state election.

Cabinet

Main article: Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council

The Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council forms the executive branch of the Negeri Sembilan state government and is analogous in function to the Malaysian federal Cabinet. The Executive Council is led by the Menteri Besar and made up of between four and 10 other State Assemblymen from the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly.[4] Aside from these, three other ex officio members of the Executive Council are the State Secretary, the State Legal Adviser and the State Financial Officer.

Following the 2023 Negeri Sembilan state election, Aminuddin Harun was reappointed as the Menteri Besar after Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) were reelected to power and formed a coalition state government.

Legislature

Main article: Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly

The Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly is the legislative branch of the Negeri Sembilan state government. The unicameral legislature consists of 36 seats that represent the 36 state constituencies within Negeri Sembilan, with each constituency being represented by an elected State Assemblyman. The Legislative Assembly convenes at the Wisma Negeri in Seremban.

The legislature has a maximum mandate of five years by law and follows a multi-party system; the ruling party (or coalition) is elected through a first-past-the-post system.[4] The Yang di-Pertuan Besar may dissolve the legislature at any time and usually does so upon the advice of the Menteri Besar.

A Speaker is elected by the Legislative Assembly to preside over the proceedings and debates of the legislature. The Speaker may or may not be an elected State Assemblyman; in the case of the latter, the elected Speaker shall become a member of the Legislative Assembly additional to the elected State Assemblymen already in the legislature.[4]
