PH warns BN it is ready to go it alone as uncertainty rises in Melaka

Pakatan Harapan (PH) has declared its readiness to contest the upcoming Melaka state election independently, amid a lack of progress on an electoral pact with Barisan Nasional (BN). According to PH election director Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, the coalition has yet to receive any official decision regarding cooperation or seat distribution with BN.

Discussions between PH and Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh have taken place online, but no formal negotiations have begun. Amirudin stated that PH is fully prepared to face a scenario where they contest without BN.

The Melaka State Legislative Assembly's dissolution has been hinted at by Ab Rauf, who suggested it could happen by the end of the month, or within "two Fridays". However, Amirudin noted that this remains speculative, as the final decision rests with the Melaka government.
