GE14 | An hour's drive from the capital of Seremban lies Jempol, the largest parliamentary seat in Negeri Sembilan. Jempol will serve as the barometer to gauge if a Malay tsunami would sweep through the state.

The parliamentary constituency comprises four state seats - Serting, Palong, Jeram Padang and Bahau. The voters' breakdown is 64 percent Malays, 23 percent Chinese, 12 percent Indians and one percent other ethnic groups.

Jempol has a total of 14 Felda district polling centers (PDM), the highest among the eight parliamentary seats in the state.

Amid the opposition's strong showing in the last general election, Umno managed to hold on to Jempol with a mere 6.9 percent vote majority, thanks to Felda votes.
