PH to announce Melaka polls candidates 1 to 2 weeks before nomination day
The prime minister's political secretary, Azman Abidin, says this will allow the coalition to prepare early instead of waiting until the last minute to finalise its candidates.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) is set to announce its candidates for the upcoming Melaka state election one to two weeks before the nomination day, according to the prime minister’s political secretary, Azman Abidin. Azman stated that the party is better prepared to make the announcement this time, allowing them to prepare early instead of waiting until the last minute.
The candidate selection process will be determined by the party leadership, considering lists submitted by party divisions, state leaders, and grassroots members. Melaka is scheduled to hold its state legislative assembly elections following the dissolution of the assembly today. Barisan Nasional (BN) previously formed the state government after winning 21 of the 28 seats in the November 2021 state election, while PH won five seats and Perikatan Nasional (PN) secured two. Both PH and BN are currently courting PN ahead of the Melaka election.
