Melaka polls: Pas machinery mobilised, PN confident of defeating PH

Melaka is set to hold its state election on November 14 with Perikatan Nasional (PN) expressing confidence in defeating the incumbent Pakatan Harapan (PH). PN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man stated that the coalition has received positive support thus far. Surveys indicate that Melaka voters have continued to favor PN and Pas, similar to their support in the last general election.

Pas has reportedly mobilised its machinery and is approaching the election with seriousness. Tuan Ibrahim emphasized that the key lies in engaging with the populace, not just prior to state elections, unlike other political parties. The Election Commission has announced the poll date, which is November 14, and the nomination deadline, October 31.

Melaka comprises 28 parliamentary seats. In the last state election, Barisan Nasional secured 21 seats, PH captured five, and PN claimed two.
