The following is the list ofmembers of the Dewan Negara(Senate) of the 15th Malaysian Parliament. 26 out of 70 senators, i.e. two senators for each state, are elected by their respectiveState Legislative Assembly for three-year term. The other 44, including four senators representingFederal Territories, are appointed by theYang di-Pertuan Agong also for three-year term.[1]
Barisan Nasional (BN) remains the plurality in the Dewan Negara, but remains a part of a governing coalition in theDewan Rakyat(House of Representatives) led by thePakatan Harapan (PH), together with the other East Malaysian coalitions/parties;Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS),Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and other small parties and independent MPs who back their supports to theAnwar Ibrahim-led unity government. This is due to the constitutional nature that senators are not elected directly by the people, but instead elected by the State Legislative Assemblies or appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which most of senatorial elections or appointments took place in the previous parliamentary term, i.e. the 14th Parliament.
The 15th Parliament started on 19 December 2022 when all members of theDewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) elected in the15th general election sat for the first time and the Dewan Negara had its first meeting 2 days later.
