The Melaka state assembly will be dissolved tomorrow, as announced by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh. Yang di-Pertua Negeri Melaka, Tun Dr Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam, has given consent for the dissolution after a meeting earlier today. This announcement concludes weeks of speculation regarding the timing of the assembly's dissolution.
The dissolution is set to take effect on September 23. The process to appoint new legislators will follow legal provisions and the decisions of the relevant authorities. The upcoming state election is anticipated to feature intense competition in all 28 seats. The Barisan Nasional coalition is reportedly discussing contest strategies with both Perikatan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan, although both parties are prepared to run independently if negotiations do not yield a compromise.
Furthermore, the newly formed Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) has declared it will contest 15 of the seats.
