Malaysia's Melaka State Election Set for November 14 Amid Shifting Alliances
Melaka, a state in Malaysia, will hold its state election on November 14, with nominations opening on October 26. The election involves nearly 700,000 voters. This comes as the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, led by Umno, is reportedly nearing an alliance with Islamist rivals PAS. This political alignment poses a challenge for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's existing alliance, which has faced recent electoral setbacks.
