Peguam Encik Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali berpandangan  Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan yang baharu perlu mengangkat sumpah di hadapan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.

The question for Negeri Sembilan now is whether the BN can take the government from the current PH administration. Based on the momentum from the Johor election, the odds seem stacked in favour of the BN.
