Bersama names candidates for 15 seats in Melaka polls

Bersama, a new political party, has announced its candidates for 15 seats in the upcoming Melaka state election. Party leader Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad stated that the party needs time to introduce itself to voters. The election is expected to take place by late February 2027, although it could be held as early as September. Bersama's first electoral campaign was in the July 11 Johor polls, where all 15 candidates were defeated.

The party's candidates for Melaka include Dr Solehin Saleh, the brother of Umno Youth chief and Merlimau assemblyman Dr Akmal Saleh, who will contest in Bemban. Bersama aims to introduce its candidates to voters faster by announcing them early, believing that meeting voters on the ground earlier can lead to a significant impact.
