Pakatan Harapan is against the dissolution of the assembly and the call for elections in Melaka saying chief minister Adly Zahari’s advice to dissolve the assembly in 2020 was rejected because he had lost the majority.
“Melaka Governor Mohd Ali Rustam has violated precedent by dissolving the state assembly following the exodus of four assemblymen from the ruling coalition, said Pakatan Harapan (PH)’s the presidential council,” PH says.
In the power struggle in Melaka following the change of government at the federal level last year, an assemblyman from the rival United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party, Mr Sulaiman Md Ali, took over days later as the chief minister.
