The Melaka State Legislative Assembly is set to be dissolved today, potentially triggering state elections, according to reports. The decision follows a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh. Sources indicate the dissolution letter has already been signed, with details expected to be announced this afternoon at a press conference in Seri Negeri.

All Barisan Nasional assemblymen have received invitations to the meeting, scheduled for 2.30 pm this afternoon. Chief Minister Ab Rauf has previously hinted at the assembly's imminent dissolution, noting that the state has only two Fridays left before its birthday celebrations, suggesting the timing. Currently, the 15th Melaka assembly is scheduled to conclude on December 27, 2026, but the dissolution could precede this date.

The focus now turns to Seri Negeri for the official announcement, which will initiate the path towards the upcoming Melaka state election.
