PH to contest only 21 seats in Melaka polls

Pakatan Harapan (PH) has announced it will only contest 21 out of the 28 seats in the upcoming Melaka state election on November 14. The party will be defended by former chief minister Adly Zahari in the Bukit Katil seat. PH leaders Anwar Ibrahim and Azman Abidin will contest Paya Rumput and Durian Tunggal, respectively. Other candidates include Ginie Lim for Machap Jaya, Kerk Chee Yee for Ayer Keroh, Jason Tze-Xi Nathan for Pengkalan Batu, and Farzana Hayani for Klebang.

PH is not contesting seven seats, including Bemban, due to possible electoral understanding with Bersatu.
