       "Saturday Nov 6, 2021, 10 am. Thank you for your support," he said in a Facebook post Thursday (Nov 4).

       The Melaka state election will be held following the dissolution of the state legislative assembly on Oct 4 after four of the assemblymen withdrew support for the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali.

       The Election Commission then fixed Nov 20 for voting in this state election, Nov 8 for nomination of candidates and early voting on Nov 16. - Bernama
