With the BN-Perikatan Nasional combo victorious in the Johor and Negeri Sembilan elections, Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) predicts that Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) may lose their kingmaker role after the 16th general election.

PBM president Larry Sng said this was because the BN-PN pact could easily secure a simple majority at the federal level, given the number of seats each coalition won in the last general election.
