The following is the list of members 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 respective State Legislative Assembly for three-year term. The other 44, including four senators representing Federal Territories, are appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong also for three-year term.[1]
National Front (BN) remains the plurality in the Dewan Negara, but remains a part of a governing coalition in the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) led by the Alliance of Hope (PH), together with the other East Malaysian coalitions/parties; Sarawak Parties Alliance (GPS), Sabah People's Alliance (GRS) and other small parties and independent MPs who back their supports to the Anwar 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 the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) elected in the 15th general election sat for the first time and the Dewan Negara had its first meeting 2 days later.
