The Melaka chief minister says dissolution is just around the corner.

2 more Fridays before Melaka assembly dissolves, Ab Rauf hints

Melaka's Chief Minister, Ab Rauf Yusof, has suggested that the state assembly might be dissolved by the end of this month. Rauf, who also serves as the Melaka BN chairman, revealed this during a meet-and-greet session with residents of Kampung Bertam Ulu. He stated that the dissolution would occur in "two more Fridays", implying the end of the month.

This comes after Deputy Prime Minister and BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi urged Rauf to expedite the announcement, stating that it would allow the youth to decide the state's future. Zahid reminded the Melaka BN to safeguard the 21 seats they won in the 2021 election, as Pakatan Harapan secured five seats and Perikatan Nasional took two in the 28-member assembly. The state assembly's current term ends in December.
