Melaka polls timeframe reasonable, says Ab Rauf
AYER KEROH: The timeframe set by the Election Commission (EC) for the 16th Melaka election is reasonable and allows sufficient time for preparations, said caretaker Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh has stated that the timeframe set by the Election Commission (EC) for the forthcoming 16th Melaka state election is reasonable and provides ample time for preparations. Rauf, who is also the Melaka Barisan Nasional chairman, expressed his confidence in the EC's ability to handle the logistics and identify suitable polling centres within the given period.
The EC has fixed the polling day for the state election on November 14, with nomination taking place on October 31 and early voting scheduled for November 10. Rauf emphasized that the two-week difference between the latest proposed dates for nomination and polling does not signal any attempt to extend the election process. He urged all parties involved to be fair to the EC and trust it to manage the election effectively, without any suspicion of ulterior political motives.
