Anwar urges PH candidates to win trust ahead of Melaka state election

Pakatan Harapan chairman Anwar Ibrahim used a Facebook message to ask the coalition’s candidates and organisational staff to earn the electorate’s trust in the forthcoming 16th Melaka state election. He emphasized that any slander or racial incitement should be met with tangible results and sincere public service. Anwar, also prime minister, expressed hope that the coalition’s sincerity would enable historic reforms and a more just, prosperous future in Melaka.

The alliance will field 21 candidates from its three component parties, down from 28 in the 2021 contest. The Election Commission has set the poll for November 14, with candidate nominations scheduled for October 31 and early voting on November 10.
