TAK RASMI: Rauf bakal pertahan Tanjung Bidara
Ketua menteri Melaka itu menang dengan majoriti tipis 364 undi pada PRN 2021 namun kini bakal menang dengan lebih selesa.
Melaka's Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh is set to retain his DUN Tanjung Bidara seat for Barisan Nasional (BN), according to an initial unofficial decision. In a head-to-head contest with Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Yunazri Mustamiri, Rauf previously won the Tanjung Bidara seat in PRN 2021 with a narrow margin of 364 votes, defeating Mas Ermieyati Samsudin from Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Zainal Hassan (PH).
He was appointed Chief Minister in March 2023 after Sulaiman Ali stepped down, and Zahid Hamidi subsequently nominated Rauf as his replacement. Prior to that, Rauf had served as the speaker of DUN Melaka and deputy of the state government, responsible for portfolios such as investment, industry, entrepreneurs, and cooperatives under Sulaiman's administration.
Zahid had earlier stated that Rauf would remain as Chief Minister if BN successfully formed the state government.
