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.
