Melaka Polls: Pakistan candidates to be announced one to two weeks ahead of nomination, says PM’s pol-sec

In Alor Gajah, Malaysia's Prime Minister's political secretary, Datuk Azman Abidin, announced that Pakatan Harapan (PH) will reveal its candidates for the upcoming Melaka state election one to two weeks prior to the nomination date. This early announcement will allow PH to begin preparations well in advance of the deadline. Speaking to reporters after visiting beneficiaries of the Ziarah Kasih programme at the Kuala Linggi state constituency, Azman expressed his satisfaction with the party's readiness to name its candidates.

He emphasized that the selection process would be determined by the party leadership, considering the lists submitted by various party divisions, state leaders, and grassroots members. Earlier in the day, Azman had visited seven recipients of the Ziarah Kasih programme, including a single mother with two children who suffered a road accident and is unable to work.

The Ziarah Kasih programme, one of the activities organized by the Political Secretary's Office, provides cash assistance and follow-up aid such as wheelchairs or other support for eligible individuals. Azman assured that the Ziarah Kasih programme would continue in other parts of Melaka, including the Jasin parliamentary constituency next week.
