Muhyiddin had previously held Pagoh for four terms, securing a win during the previous general election under a Bersatu ticket for the first time after being expelled from BN-linchpin Umno. 

Other contestants for the federal constituency included BN’s Datuk Seri Razali Ibrahim and PH’s Iskandar Shah Abdul Rahman, who garnered 14,979 and 14,426 votes respectively.

The constituency saw a total of 206,744 registered voters. – The Vibes, November 19, 2022
