MALACCA POLLS | BN will continue to entrust Ab Rauf Yusoh with the post of chief minister if the coalition wins the 16th Malacca state election on Nov 14.

BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said, however, that the proposal was subject to the powers vested in Malacca governor Ali Rustam.

“We will not pre-empt the powers vested in the governor, but as BN chairperson, I will propose Rauf's name for him to continue serving in Malacca.

“However, we will first return this mandate to the people of Malacca. I hope their support will be translated into votes, enabling us to form the state government together with our strategic partners,” he said.
