Melaka state election likely within two months, says PN chief

Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin has indicated that Melaka is heading towards a state election within the next two months, as he called on party workers in the state to prepare for a potential shift in power.

Muhyiddin told PN election workers in Melaka that they should present themselves as part of a government-in-waiting, suggesting the coalition is preparing for a possible electoral contest in the state.

The remarks come amid ongoing political developments in Melaka, where the current administration has faced mounting pressure from opposition parties seeking to challenge the ruling coalition's hold on power.

If called, the Melaka election would be another significant test for both PN and its rivals in Malaysia's competitive political landscape. The timing of the election remains subject to the state government's dissolution of the state assembly, which would formally trigger the election process.

Political observers have been tracking Melaka closely as one of several states where power dynamics could shift in Malaysia's fluid political environment, with multiple coalitions vying for control ahead of potential electoral contests.
