Early life and education

Aminuddin bin Harun was born on 2 January 1967 in Kampung Pachitan, near Chuah in Port Dickson . He received his secondary education at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tanah Merah, Port Dickson before furthering his studies at the MARA Institute of Technology (now UiTM) in the field of business.

Early career

From 1991, Aminuddin served a five-year tenure as an investigative officer in the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA, now MACC). In 1995, he joined Golden Hope Furniture Sdn. Bhd. as head of production management and later MCIS Safety Glass (M) Sdn Bhd as Senior Executive from 1996 to 2008 as head of the sales department, management committee, internal investigation panel and ISO/TS 16949:2002 auditor.

Political career

Prior to joining keADILan in 1999, he was a member of UMNO and was its Division Secretary of Kampung Pachitan from 1995 to 1998 and the Division Youth Secretary of Jimah from 1997 to 1998.[3]

After the 2018 Negeri Sembilan state election, Aminuddin submitted a letter by PKR President Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, endorsing him as the next Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan for the first term and to form a new Negeri Sembilan state government after PH won the election by gaining the simple majority in the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly. Three days after the election, Aminuddin was appointed and sworn in as the Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan at Istana Besar in Seri Menanti, Kuala Pilah.[4]

In the 2022 general election, Aminuddin was elected for the MP for Port Dickson.

In the 2023 Negeri Sembilan state election, Aminuddin was reappointed and sworn in again as the Menteri Besar for the second term by winning the election again by securing the supermajority in the State Legislative Assembly with BN. He formed a coalition state government with BN by appointing State Chairman of BN of Negeri Sembilan Jalaluddin Alias as the Senior EXCO Member, a position equal to a Deputy Menteri Besar, effectively making him the second most powerful person in the state government as well as three other BN MLAs as EXCO Members.

Vice President of PKR

In the 2022 PKR party election, he was elected as a Vice President of PKR with 33,230 votes, the fourth-highest number of votes among the vice presidential candidates.
