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.
Pahang Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh is poised to retain his Tanjung Bidara Dewan seat for Barisan Nasional (BN), according to early unofficial results. The outcome hinges on whether the coalition manages to form the state government. The single-fighter Rauf faces off against Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Yunazri Mustamiri in the Tanjung Bidara by-election.
Rauf first won the Tanjung Bidara seat in the 2021 PRN election with a narrow 364-vote margin, defeating Mas Ermieyati Samsudin of Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Zainal Hassan (PH). He was appointed as chief minister in March 2023 after his predecessor, Sulaiman Ali, stepped down and Zahid Hamidi, the President of Umno, nominated Rauf as his successor.
Prior to that, Rauf served as speaker of the Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) for Melaka and held portfolios such as investments, industry, entrepreneur, and cooperatives under Sulaiman's administration. Zahid had previously stated that Rauf would continue as chief minister if BN succeeded in forming the state government.
