Malaysia's Democratic Action Party (DAP) will hold a vote on August 16, 2026, to decide whether the party should continue holding government positions for the remainder of the term. This internal party decision follows the defeat of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition in the Negeri Sembilan state election. The vote will determine the DAP's role in the current government, reflecting internal party dynamics and the impact of electoral losses on coalition stability. The outcome could affect the balance of power within the ruling coalition and Malaysia's political landscape.
