Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, has appointed Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh as the Chief Minister of Melaka for a second term. This decision comes after the coalition secured a two-thirds majority in the recent state election, demonstrating the people's continued trust in BN and Perikatan Nasional (PN).
Zahid made the announcement during his victory speech, emphasizing that the mandate reflects the people's confidence in BN and PN's track record, political stability, and development agenda. He stressed that the coalition must accept this responsibility with gratitude and humility, rather than boasting about their third consecutive electoral success.
The BN leader highlighted that the mandate carries significant responsibility to fulfill their manifesto promises and deliver the best possible service to all Melakans, regardless of their race, religion, or background. Zahid also noted that the election has once again shown that political cooperation between BN and PN is gaining wider acceptance among voters.
In his congratulations to Ab Rauf, Zahid urged the people to set aside past differences and work together towards the state's continued development. He expressed hope that the "blue wave" would spread nationwide, enabling the people to choose a government capable of driving the country forward.
The official letter nominating Ab Rauf will be submitted to the Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Melaka tonight.
