Melaka polls: PKR adds Ayer Limau, to contest 10 seats, says Fuziah

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has added one more state seat to its list for the upcoming Melaka state election, bringing its total to 10 seats up from the nine previously announced.

PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said the additional seat is the Ayer Limau constituency, which will be contested by the party’s candidate, Major (Rtd) Jaimi Dimon.

She noted that this addition brings the total number of seats to be contested by Pakatan Harapan (PH) to 22 so far an increase from the 21 previously announced though this remains subject to any changes involving other parties.

“Yesterday, we issued the letters of appointment (candidacy papers), and we have since added one more seat to our list. When we announced our candidates previously, it was for nine seats; today, we have added another, bringing the total number of seats to be contested by PKR to 10.

“As it stands, there are 22 (PH candidates), unless other parties also make additions as we didn’t finalise it that day, but since PKR felt we could add one more seat, we brought the total to 10 seats,” she said.

Fuziah, who is also the Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, made these remarks after attending a special press conference held by the Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, here today on the implementation of the Deepavali Festive Season Maximum Price Scheme for 2026.

Regarding preparations for the state election, Fuziah said she had visited all of PKR’s main operations centres in the state constituencies the party is contesting, and expressed satisfaction with the readiness of the election machinery.

“So far, I am satisfied with their preparations covering everything from the election machinery, polling districts, and operations centres to data and logistics and they are ready for nomination day this Saturday,” she said.

The Melaka State Legislative Assembly was dissolved on September 23. The Election Commission (EC) has set November 14 as the polling day for the Melaka state election, with nomination day scheduled for October 31 and early voting for November 10.

A total of 687,697 voters are eligible to cast their ballots in the state election. — Bernama

吉隆坡，10月29日讯——人民公正党（PKR）在即将举行的马六甲州选举中又增加了一个州议席，使其议席总数达到10个，比之前宣布的9个有所增加。

人民公正党秘书长拿督芙兹亚·萨利赫博士表示，新增的议席是亚依林茂选区，将由该党候选人、退役少校贾米·迪蒙参选。

她指出，此次新增席位使希望联盟（PH）目前将要竞选的席位总数达到 22 个，比之前宣布的 21 个有所增加，但这仍取决于其他政党的任何变动。

“昨天，我们发出了委任书（候选人资格证书），之后我们又增加了一个席位。之前我们公布候选人名单时，共有九个席位；今天，我们又增加了一个，使人民公正党竞选的席位总数达到十个。”

“目前共有 22 名（希望联盟候选人），除非其他政党也增加候选人，因为我们当天还没有最终确定，但由于人民公正党认为我们可以再增加一个席位，所以我们将总席位增加到了 10 个，”她说。

富齐亚同时也是国内贸易及生活成本部副部长，他在出席国内贸易及生活成本部长拿督阿米赞·莫哈末·阿里今天在此举行的关于2026年屠妖节期间最高价格计划实施情况的特别新闻发布会后发表了上述言论。

关于州选举的准备工作，芙兹亚表示，她已经走访了人民公正党在各州选区的主要行动中心，并对选举机器的准备情况表示满意。

“到目前为止，我对他们的准备工作感到满意，涵盖了从选举机器、投票区、运营中心到数据和后勤等各个方面，他们已经为本周六的提名日做好了准备，”她说。

马六甲州立法议会于9月23日解散。选举委员会已将11月14日定为马六甲州选举的投票日，提名日定于10月31日，提前投票日定于11月10日。
