PN, PH leaders exchange pleasantries at Bukit Katil nomination centre

Leaders from opposing political alliances, Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH), exchanged cordial greetings at the Bukit Katil nomination centre in Melaka ahead of the upcoming state election on November 14. Notable figures in attendance included PN secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan, Arau MP Shahidan Kassim, PH's candidate for Bukit Katil Adly Zahari, and Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, also known as Mat Sabu.

As candidates and party leaders gathered to submit their nomination papers for the state polls, the atmosphere was charged with political sentiment. PH supporters were heard chanting "Reformasi," while PN supporters chanted "Hidup Islam" during their respective marches towards the nomination centre.

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