In the Melaka state election, Umno and PAS are teaming up with Barisan Nasional (BN) to contest the election together, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Bersatu are exploring an electoral understanding, despite facing each other in four constituencies. BN and PN, which secured a two-thirds majority in the Negeri Sembilan state election in August, are hoping to repeat their success in Melaka.
