Adly in 4-cornered fight for third term in Bukit Katil

Former Melaka chief minister Adly Zahari is embroiled in a four-way contest to secure his third term in the Bukit Katil constituency ahead of the upcoming Melaka state election on November 14. Pakatan Harapan's Adly faces off against Perikatan Nasional's Ridzuan Sarif, Dr Aliza Che Amran of Bersatu, and independent candidate Abu Bakar Sabudin.

Adly, who currently serves as Melaka's PH chairman, aims to retain the parliamentary seat he first won in 2018. During the November 2021 general election, he secured a narrow victory over Barisan Nasional's Hasnoor Sidang Husin by a margin of just 1,057 votes.

Geographically, Bukit Katil is a predominantly Malay constituency, with Malays comprising around 65% of the registered voters. The remaining voter demographic is split between Chinese (29%), Indians (5%), and other ethnic groups (1%). The Election Commission has designated November 14 as polling day, with early voting scheduled for November 10.
