Samsuri hints at Melaka polls within next 2 months

Perikatan Nasional chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has hinted that the upcoming Melaka state election could take place within the next two months. Speaking at a Melaka PAS fundraising dinner, Samsuri stated that the timeframe was based on when the current Melaka assembly is set to dissolve, with the election occurring within 60 days of that date.

He urged party election workers to make the most of the limited time and begin preparations immediately, emphasizing that the political scene in Melaka remains fluid. Samsuri, who is also a PAS vice-president, did not rule out forming alliances with parties other than Umno, noting that the Barisan Nasional party is currently considering an electoral pact with either PN or Pakatan Harapan. BN had previously formed an alliance with PN for the Negeri Sembilan polls.
