General elections were held in Malaysia on 24 and 25 April 1995. Voting took place in all 192 parliamentary constituencies of Malaysia, each electing one Member of Parliament to the Dewan Rakyat, the dominant house of Parliament. State elections also took place in 394 state constituencies in 11 out of 13 states of Malaysia (except Sabah and Sarawak) on the same day.

The result was a victory for the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional, which won 162 of the 192 seats. Voter turnout was 68%.

Aftermath

The 1995 general elections were the second and last elections involving Semangat 46. Having lost around a third of its vote share and facing desertions from party members, its leader Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah disbanded the party in 1996 and rejoined UMNO along with some other former Semangat 46 members.
