Former Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali has decided not to stand for re-election in the upcoming November 14 state election for the Lendu seat. Sulaiman, who has been representing the district for three consecutive terms since 2013, stated that he has "contested enough." Prior to his tenure as chief minister, Sulaiman secured a majority of 3,104 votes in the 2021 Melaka state election, defeating Perikatan Nasional's Abdullah Mahadi and Pakatan Harapan's Muhammad Asri Ibrahim.
He assumed office as the 12th chief minister of Melaka on March 9, 2020, following Barisan Nasional's victory in the 2021 state election. Another former chief minister, Datuk Seri Idris Haron, declined to comment on his intended participation in the upcoming polls, leaving the decision unclear.
