Pakatan tells its supporters in Melaka: Vote with your conscience

MELAKA, Nov 1 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) is taking an open approach and leaving it to its members and supporters to decide whom to support in state seats not contested by the coalition in the 16th Melaka state election.

Melaka PH chairman Adly Zahari said the coalition had never issued any specific directive instructing its members and supporters to support any particular party in those constituencies, expressing confidence that they understood the political dynamics of the current state election.

He said PH’s current focus was on securing victory in the 24 state seats contested by the coalition.

“So, for our supporters in constituencies where PH is not contesting, whom they support is the right of our members. We understand how they should cast their votes in the coming election,” he told reporters at the 2026 national-level Malaysia Sihat Sejahtera Month in Ayer Keroh here today.

Asked about Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s (Bersatu) decision to contest eight state seats, Adly said the party had its own plans for the Melaka state election.

“I think Bersatu has its own plans, as it is contesting eight seats. We are focused on PH, and we understand that our main rivals are Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional,” he said.

The Election Commission (EC) has set Nov 14 as polling day for the 16th Melaka state election, with early voting scheduled for Nov 10. — Bernama

马六甲，11月1日讯——希望联盟（PH）采取开放的态度，让其成员和支持者决定在第16届马六甲州选举中，在联盟未参选的州议席上支持谁。

马六甲希望联盟主席阿德利·扎哈里表示，该联盟从未发布任何具体指示，要求其成员和支持者在这些选区支持任何特定政党，并表示相信他们了解当前州选举的政治动态。

他表示，希望联盟目前的重点是确保赢得该联盟竞选的24个州议席。

“所以，对于希望联盟没有参选的选区的支持者来说，他们支持谁是他们的权利。我们理解他们在即将到来的选举中应该如何投票，”他今天在爱极乐举行的2026年马来西亚国家级健康安全月活动上对记者说。

当被问及土著团结党（Bersatu）决定竞选八个州议席时，阿德利表示，该党对马六甲州选举有自己的计划。

“我认为土著团结党有自己的计划，因为它要竞选八个席位。我们专注于希望联盟，我们也明白我们的主要竞争对手是国民阵线和国民联盟，”他说。
