Adly Zahari to be Pakatan’s chief minister candidate if coalition wins Melaka

Malay Mail reports that Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari is set to be named Pakatan Harapan's (PH) candidate for Chief Minister if the coalition wins the 16th Melaka State Election on November 14. PH Election director Amirudin Shari stated that Adly, a former Melaka Chief Minister, is the best candidate for the position, although there is a consensus to name him as the candidate if the coalition secures a majority or mandate.

The election will see Adly contest against four other candidates, including Ridzuan Sarif from Perikatan Nasional, Dr Aliza Che Amran from Parti Bersama Malaysia, and independent candidate Abu Bakar Sabudin.
