Politics : Melaka Assembly Dissolution Date Still Not Fixed - Ab Rauf
ALOR GAJAH, Sept 17 (Bernama) -- The date for the dissolution of the Melaka State Legislative Assembly to pave the way for the state election has yet to be set, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.
Melaka's Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh, has stated that the assembly dissolution date remains undetermined, paving the way for the upcoming state election. Ab Rauf, also the Melaka BN chairman, said that several administrative matters needed to be resolved before the dissolution could take place. He indicated that the assembly would be dissolved from one Friday to the next, as there are multiple matters to address in the interim period.
Ab Rauf made this announcement after officiating the 2026 Melaka State-level Senior Citizens Day, Persons with Disabilities (PwD) Day, and Children's Day celebrations in conjunction with the Tanjung Bidara constituency's WRUR program. He revealed that the date would be communicated to the media and public once finalized. On Tuesday, a WhatsApp viral message claimed that Melaka Yang Di Pertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Rustam had signed the dissolution document alongside Ab Rauf during a recent meeting.
The Melaka State Assembly consists of 28 seats, with the current state government's term ending on December 31.
