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

Former Malaysian Melaka chief minister Adly Zahari is engaging in a four-way battle to retain his seat in the upcoming Bukit Katil constituency election on November 14. Pakatan Harapan's Adly faces off against Perikatan Nasional's Ridzuan Sarif, Bersatu's Aliza Che Amran, and an independent candidate, Abu Bakar Sabudin. Adly, who holds the position of Melaka's PH chairman, aims to secure the seat he first won in 2018.

In the previous state election held in November 2021, Adly won the seat by a margin of 1,057 votes over Barisan Nasional's Hasnoor Sidang Husin. The constituency, overwhelmingly Malay-majority with Malays comprising around 65% of registered voters, also includes significant Chinese (29%), Indian (5%), and other ethnic group (1%) populations.

The Election Commission has designated November 14 as the polling day, with early voting scheduled for November 10.
