‘What you order is what you get’: Zahid says Ab Rauf to return as CM if BN wins Melaka polls

Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the BN chairman and deputy prime minister, has declared that Melaka Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh will return to the position if Barisan Nasional (BN) and its allies secure victory in the upcoming state election. The BN leader's faith in Ab Rauf's abilities stems from his proven leadership skills and accomplishments since serving as Umno executive secretary.

Speaking at BN's election machinery launch for Jasin parliamentary constituency, Zahid stated, "Insya-Allah, with Datuk Rauf (Ab Rauf), what you ‘order’ is exactly what Melaka will get." The Election Commission has scheduled the Melaka State Election for November 14, with nominations opening on October 31 and early voting on November 10.

In the 2021 election, BN triumphed in 21 out of the 28 contested seats, enabling them to form the state government. In contrast, Pakatan Harapan (PH) claimed five seats, while Perikatan Nasional (PN) earned two.
