MELAKA saw a vibrant display of colours as supporters of four political parties congregated at the Klebang Japerun Complex ahead of the nomination for the Klebang seat. The atmosphere was charged with energy as supporters of Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional, Bersatu, and Bersama began arriving as early as 7.30am. Each party's supporters were dressed in their respective party colours, waving party flags and banners, and chanting in support of their candidates.

This display of party spirit reflected the enthusiasm of the party machinery in anticipation of the nomination process. Notable figures from the respective parties were present to support their candidates. MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong and Bersama co-founder Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli were among the party leaders seen at the nomination centre.

As of 8.30am, candidates from BN, Bersama, and Bersatu had already entered the venue. MCA's Datuk Lim Ban Hong was defending the seat, while PH had nominated Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir, Bersatu had selected Datuk Seri Mohamad Ali Mohamed, and Bersama had chosen Young Jie Yu to contest the election.
