Melaka Election: BN Wins 21 of 28 Seats, PH 4 and PN 3 in SPR’s Full Official Results

MELAKA, November 14, 2026 — Barisan Nasional (BN) won 21 of the 28 seats in the 16th Melaka state election, with Pakatan Harapan (PH) taking four and Perikatan Nasional (PN) three, according to the full official results released by the Election Commission (SPR) tonight.

In Media Statement No. 63/2026, signed by SPR chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun, the commission set out the final seat totals for the 28-seat state assembly and said the election had been conducted freely, fairly and transparently.

SPR said 493,573 voters, or 71.77 per cent of the electorate, cast their ballots. The commission said the figure covers ordinary voters, early voters and postal voters. It is higher than the 70.59 per cent shown on SPR’s dashboard at the close of polls, which counted ordinary voters only, as previously reported by Life News Agency.

The commission said it was satisfied with polling on Saturday, that registered voters had been able to exercise their rights and responsibilities, and that no untoward incidents affecting the electoral process had occurred. It added that it had followed the laws and regulations in force and thanked the Melaka State Secretary’s office, local authorities, district officers, the police, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, other government agencies, the media and volunteers for their help.

The full results follow SPR’s earlier Media Statement No. 62/2026, which said that, as of 9.40pm, BN had secured 15 seats, enough for a simple majority to form the state government.

According to Bernama, BN’s 21 seats are Kuala Linggi, Tanjung Bidara, Ayer Limau, Lendu, Taboh Naning, Rembia, Gadek, Machap Jaya, Durian Tunggal, Asahan, Sungai Udang, Pantai Kundor, Kelebang, Pengkalan Batu, Ayer Molek, Duyong, Telok Mas, Rim, Serkam, Merlimau and Sungai Rambai, matching the 21 seats it won in the 2021 state election. PH retained Ayer Keroh, Kesidang, Bandar Hilir and Kota Laksamana, the news agency reported, while PN’s seats include Bemban. Parti Bersama Malaysia, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra) and three independent candidates did not win any seats, Bernama said.

A total of 79 candidates contested the 28 seats. PH fielded the most, with 24, followed by BN with 23, Parti Bersama Malaysia with 16, Bersatu with seven, PN with five, Putra with one, and three independents, according to Bernama. BN and PN cooperated in the election, and together hold 24 of the 28 seats, which Bernama described as a two-thirds majority.

BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said BN and PN had agreed to nominate the Tanjung Bidara assemblyman, Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh, to continue as chief minister. Bernama reported that Ab Rauf is scheduled to be sworn in as Melaka’s 13th chief minister at Seri Negeri, the office of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri, tomorrow.

On the other side, Melaka PH chairman Adly Zahari said the coalition accepted the outcome with an open heart and respected the people’s mandate, despite winning only four of the 24 seats it contested, Bernama reported.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also PH chairman, congratulated BN on the mandate given by Melaka voters and said he hoped the responsibility would be carried out for the wellbeing of the state and its people. “Now is the time for us to move forward by putting the people’s interests first, and the Federal Government will continue to strengthen cooperation with the Melaka State Government to drive development and ensure the wellbeing of all the people,” he said in a Facebook post, according to Bernama. He also thanked voters, as well as PH’s election machinery and candidates.

The Melaka state assembly was dissolved on September 23. SPR fixed October 31 for nominations and November 10 for early voting, with polling held today.
