Melaka polls: Adly to defend Bukit Katil seat against three challengers

MELAKA: The Bukit Katil seat will see a four-cornered contest in the Melaka election, following the completion of the nomination process this morning.

Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari, the Pakatan Harapan candidate, will face three challengers in his bid to defend the seat in the Nov 14 election.

The Amanah vice-president will take on Pas candidate Muhammad Ridzuan Mohd Sarif, Bersama candidate Dr Aliza Che Amran and independent candidate Abu Bakar Sabudin.
