Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim began his term in early August 2026, announcing a provisional list of ten EXCO members pending royal assent and coalition agreement. He indicated that the final lineup would be confirmed by the end of the week. A few days later, on 7 August, the new Executive Council was formally sworn in at Istana Besar Seri Menanti. Two incumbent assembly members retained their posts while eight newcomers were appointed, completing the council under Lasim’s leadership. The ceremony, presided over by Yang di‑Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz, included a royal admonition for the new members to avoid misuse of authority, especially in awarding tenders, and to act with honesty and professionalism for the benefit of Negeri Sembilan’s residents.
