Johari: BN to decide Melaka polls strategy after assembly dissolution
KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) will determine its strategy for the Melaka polls only after the state assembly is dissolved, said Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.
Johari, the vice-president of Barisan Nasional (BN), stated that the party will decide its strategy for the upcoming Melaka polls only after the state assembly is dissolved, as reported by Utusan Malaysia. Johari made this remark during the Maulidur Rasul procession at Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru in Melaka. The dissolution of the Melaka state assembly is expected to occur at the earliest by February 2027, as the current five-year term ends in late December 2026.
Umno's Supreme Council member, Ahmad Maslan, had previously mentioned that the party's political direction, including whether to collaborate with other parties or contest the election independently, would be discussed at the Supreme Council meeting on August 28. BN chairman, Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, emphasized the need to devise a strategy tailored to Melaka's political environment for the upcoming election.
He clarified that the approach taken in previous BN victories in Johor and Negri Sembilan elections might not necessarily be replicated in Melaka.
