Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias, the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Pertang state constituency, cast his vote early Saturday morning at the Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Putra polling center in Simpang Durian. Jalaluddin, who also chairs the Negeri Sembilan UMNO Liaison Body, arrived with his wife, Datin Seri Maziah Mohd. Nor, to fulfill their voting duty in the 16th Negeri Sembilan state election.

Jalaluddin, the incumbent for the DUN Pertang seat, faces competition from Mohd. Umry Abdul Khois of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Mohd. Faizal Fadli Mohd. Idrus from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu). This election marks a key contest for the constituency.

In the previous 2023 state election, Jalaluddin secured victory in Pertang with a substantial majority of 2,790 votes, garnering 5,634 votes. He had previously held the DUN Pertang seat from 2013 to 2018 before successfully reclaiming it in the 2023 election, demonstrating his consistent support in the area.
