The Melaka UMNO branch has initiated the process of selecting candidates for the upcoming state election, requesting six divisions to submit three potential candidates each, including current assemblymen. Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh, the UMNO liaison chairman for Melaka, stated that the names will be carefully examined before any final decisions are made regarding candidates for the 21 BN-held seats.
The party has already gathered names for consideration but is not rushing to finalize candidates due to the remaining time before nomination day. Ab Rauf emphasized that UMNO is concentrating on preparing its election machinery at all levels to ensure readiness for the state election and cautioned against underestimating the anticipated involvement of other parties in the contest for all 28 state seats.
The party remains open to discussions with potential strategic partners for the Melaka election, although negotiations have been postponed to a more appropriate date.
