While all parties involved believe they can win, the actual outcome will only be known after the voting process is completed. Khaled emphasized that as a representative of the BN-PN coalition, he strongly believes they will emerge victorious, while acknowledging that opponents may also claim the same. The BN-PN coalition successfully secured 21 out of the 28 state assembly seats in the previous Melaka election, forming the state government with a two-thirds majority. For the upcoming election, BN is contesting 23 seats, while PN will contest five.",
