Melaka state election after Johor, Negeri Sembilan state elections – Ab Rauf

ALOR GAJAH: Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh hinted that the State Election (PRN) will only be held after the Johor and Negeri Sembilan PRNs are completed. He said the situation in Johor and Negeri Sembilan was different from that in Melaka, which did not require the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) to be dissolved in the near future. The Melaka State Legislative Assembly term expires on Dec 30. "We (Barisan Nasional) will continue to carry out government affairs to look after the people's affairs until a date to be officially announced." "We are not participating in either Johor or Negeri Sembilan and we will send machinery to assist in the state elections in both states," he said when met by reporters at a thanksgiving ceremony in conjunction with his return from performing the hajj at his residence in Kampung Pulau here, tonight. Ab Rauf said he would also examine the results of the Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections before thinking of a suitable date to dissolve the state assembly. The Chief Minister stressed that he was not pressured by any party urging Melaka to also dissolve the state assembly, as happened in Johor and Negeri Sembilan. However, he did not rule out any possibility regarding the future of the Melaka State Legislative Assembly, describing politics as "an art with 1,001 possibilities". The Melaka state election held in 2021 saw Barisan Nasional (BN) form the state government after winning 21 seats, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) won five seats and Perikatan Nasional (PN) won two seats. The Negeri Sembilan state assembly was dissolved today while Johor's was dissolved on June 1. -- BERNAMA
