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 prior to the nomination day, according to the prime minister's political secretary, Azman Abidin. Azman made this statement after visiting beneficiaries under the Ziarah Kasih programme in the Kuala Linggi state constituency.
He emphasized that PH is better prepared this time, allowing them to finalize their candidates well ahead of the deadline. The candidate selection process will be handled by the party leadership, considering lists submitted by party divisions, state leaders, and grassroots members. Melaka will go to the polls as the state legislative assembly was dissolved today.
The Barisan Nasional (BN) party formed the state government after winning 21 out of 28 seats in the November 2021 state election, while PH secured five seats and Perikatan Nasional (PN) two. Both PH and the federal ally BN, as well as PN and BN, are reaching out to the BN ahead of the Melaka election.
