Melaka to head to the polls on Nov 14 in another test of shifting political alliances in Malaysia
Melaka will hold state elections on November 14 following the dissolution of its legislative assembly. The polls serve as a critical test for shifting political alliances in Malaysia ahead of the next general election.
Why it matters
The election reflects the ongoing instability and realignment of major political coalitions like BN, PH, and PN in the Malaysian political landscape.
