KAJANG, Nov 1 — Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari will be named Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) candidate for Chief Minister if the coalition succeeds in forming the state government following the 16th Melaka State Election on November 14.
PH Election director Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said Adly, a former Melaka Chief Minister, was the best candidate for the position.
“Adly is the best candidate (for Chief Minister), along with a few others. However, as of now, there is a consensus to name Adly as the candidate, provided we secure a majority or are entrusted with the mandate,” he told reporters here today.
Amirudin, who is also Selangor Menteri Besar, told reporters this after the closing of the National-Level Hawkers and Small Traders Day Carnival (HPPK) 2026 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
