Published
The Melaka state election campaign officially began on Saturday. A total of 79 candidates have been approved to contest in this election.
This election is considered important because it will test whether the federal government coalition led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim can gain the support of the people at the state level.
As reported by the South China Morning Post, the nomination process has been completed and all eligible candidates will contest. Political parties have now begun going to their respective constituencies to meet voters and present their manifestos. Political observers will be watching closely how voters in Melaka cast their ballots.
This state election is also an important test for the federal government. The results may give an indication of the level of support for the central government coalition among Malaysian voters. So far, there are no official results as the campaign is still ongoing.
