Opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin said the Democratic Action Party (DAP)-led Pakatan Harapan coalition could expect favorable results in the upcoming Melaka poll, comparing momentum to previous electoral victories. His comments suggest confidence within the opposition ranks ahead of the closely-watched state contest. The Melaka state election will determine the composition of the 28-member state assembly, with political parties vying for control of the southern state government. The November 14 poll comes as Malaysia's political landscape continues to shift following recent electoral contests. Both the ruling coalition and opposition have been intensifying their campaigns across the state, targeting swing voters and consolidating support in traditional strongholds ahead of polling day.
