MELAKA, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari cast his vote in the 16th Melaka state election at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Durian Tunggal here at 4.13 pm today.
The Melaka Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman, who is a voter in the Durian Tunggal state constituency, was accompanied by his wife, Dalilah Awaludin.
The Durian Tunggal constituency is witnessing a straight fight between PH candidate Datuk Ashraf Mukhlis Minghat and Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Datuk Mustafa Musa.
Meanwhile, Adly urged Melakans, particularly young people who had yet to cast their ballots, to turn out to vote before polling stations closed at 6 pm today.
He said the opportunity to vote in the election was particularly meaningful for young people who were exercising their right for the first time to elect their representatives for the next term.
“So, embrace the experience because it is about the future of our state,” he told reporters after casting his vote.
Adly, who is also the incumbent Bukit Katil state assemblyman, is facing a four-cornered contest against Perikatan Nasional candidate Muhammad Ridzuan Mohd Sarif, Dr Aliza Che Amran of Parti Bersama Malaysia and independent candidate Abu Bakar Sabudin.
