Bersatu to contest Melaka election with coalition partners

Bersatu will field candidates for the Melaka state election as part of a wider political coalition rather than standing independently, party officials confirmed on Tuesday.

The party's information chief said ongoing negotiations with potential coalition partners continue at both state and federal government levels. No timeline was provided for when discussions would conclude or which parties might join the alliance.

The announcement comes as political parties prepare for the Melaka state election, with coalition-building efforts intensifying across the peninsula. Bersatu, which is part of the federal government, has previously contested elections through multi-party alliances.

Party officials did not disclose the specific composition of any potential alliance or the number of seats Bersatu would contest. Further details are expected once negotiations between coalition partners reach a conclusion.
