Melaka assembly dissolution 'not far off', says Rauf
KUALA LUMPUR: The Melaka state assembly could be dissolved soon, with Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh saying the time was “not far off”.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh of Melaka has hinted that the state assembly could face dissolution imminently. During his remarks at the 2026 Umno general assembly, Rauf stated that the time was not far off for the dissolution of the assembly. He further added that preparations for the state election had been ongoing for the past two years.
When asked if the assembly would be dissolved this month, Rauf responded that it would happen "InsyaAllah" (God-willing) and not too far away in time. The Melaka state government operates under the BN Plus formula, setting it apart from other states. Rauf emphasized that the decision regarding the strategic partner for the Melaka state government would be left to the people.
He reiterated that the BN party would contest all 21 seats it currently holds in the assembly, and no talks with other parties would take place until after the dissolution.
