Melaka state assembly to be dissolved tomorrow

The dissolution of the Melaka state assembly will take effect from tomorrow, following formal approval from Yang di-Pertua Negeri Ali Rustam, Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh announced. The move will trigger the process for calling new state elections in the southern Malaysian state. The timing of the dissolution and subsequent election date will be determined by the state election commission following the official proclamation. The development comes as Melaka's political landscape continues to evolve following previous changes in the state government's composition. The dissolution marks a formal conclusion to the current term of the 36-member Dewan Undangan Negeri Melaka, with voters set to return to the polls to elect their representatives for the next state assembly term.
