MELAKA, November 11, 2026 – Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to campaign in Melaka tomorrow, November 12, as the coalition steps up its final push before polling day in the 16th Melaka State Election this Saturday, according to Melaka PKR’s acting state leadership chief Adam Adli Abd Halim.
Adam Adli, the acting chairman of the Melaka PKR State Leadership Council (MPN), said the Prime Minister was expected to begin a campaign tour of the state from as early as midday before attending two mega ceramah, or campaign rallies, in the evening.
“We will start campaigning as early as midday. Datuk Seri (Anwar) will come to Melaka and campaign at several other locations before, in the evening, the mega ceramah at two places,” he was quoted by Bernama as saying at PH’s daily press conference at the coalition’s main operations room in Melaka today.
“The first ceramah is at Bukit Baru, in front of the Hang Tuah Jaya Parliamentary Service Centre, and then at Paya Rumput. Datuk Seri Anwar will attend these two locations as PH chairman for the Melaka grand finale,” Adam Adli said.
The planned visit comes in the last days of the 14-day campaign, which began after nomination day on October 31, 2026. Anwar has already campaigned in the state during the election period, including appearances for PH candidates reported by LNA earlier this month, and his rallies tomorrow are described by PH as the coalition’s grand finale in Melaka.
The Election Commission (EC) has fixed polling day for this Saturday, November 14, 2026, for the 28 seats of the Melaka State Legislative Assembly, with 687,697 voters eligible to cast their ballots.
According to Bernama, PH is fielding candidates in 24 state seats, followed by Barisan Nasional (BN) in 23, Parti Bersama Malaysia in 16, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia in seven, Perikatan Nasional in five, Parti Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia in one, while three candidates are standing as independents.
Early voting for members of the security forces and their spouses was held on November 10, 2026, with the EC reporting a turnout of 94.96 per cent, or 9,417 of 9,917 early voters, Bernama reported.
Adam Adli has been fronting PH’s daily briefings in Melaka during the campaign. On November 10, as early voting took place, he said the right of security personnel to choose freely in the election, without any pressure, must be respected in line with the principle of ballot secrecy in the democratic process, Bernama reported.
Other parties and coalitions contesting the election are also holding final rallies and campaign events across the state this week. LNA will continue to report statements and campaign activities from all sides in the run-up to polling day.
