马六甲州选举：近70万选民将于11月14日投票马来西亚选举委员会（EC）于周三（10月7日）宣布，马六甲州的近70万选民将在该州举行的选举中投票，这再次考验了各政党在下次全国大选前的政治联盟变化。
MELAKA: Nearly 700,000 voters in Melaka are set to cast their ballots in the state polls on Nov 14, the Election Commission (EC) announced on Wednesday (Oct 7), in another test of shifting political alliances ahead of Malaysia's next general election.
选举期将从10月31日候选人提名日开始，持续14天，提前投票将于11月10日进行。
The election period will run for 14 days after the nomination of candidates on Oct 31, with early voting set for Nov 10.
马六甲州首席部长阿布·劳夫·尤索（Ab Rauf Yusoh）于9月23日正式宣布解散该州立法议会，为此次选举铺平了道路；根据原计划，选举本应在2027年2月之前举行。
Melaka Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh had announced the official dissolution of the state legislative assembly on Sep 23, paving the way for an election that was otherwise due by February 2027.
在议会解散之前，该州政府由国民阵线（Barisan Nasional, BN）执政。
Before the dissolution, the state government was led by the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.
在2021年的州选举中，国民阵线赢得了28个席位中的21个，希望联盟（Pakatan Harapan, PH）获得5个席位，国民联盟（Perikatan Nasional, PN）获得2个席位。
In the 2021 state election, BN won 21 of the 28 seats, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) secured five seats and Perikatan Nasional (PN) claimed two seats.
2023年，随着阿布·劳夫就任首席部长，希望联盟加入了州政府，并对行政委员会进行了重组，以反映联邦层面希望联盟与国民阵线的合作关系（2022年的全国大选导致议会出现“悬峙”局面）。
PH joined the state government in 2023 when Ab Rauf became chief minister and reshuffled the executive council to reflect the PH-BN partnership at the federal level following the 2022 general election that had resulted in a hung parliament.
然而，希望联盟于7月撤回了对州政府的支持，以抗议一项允许任命“指定议员”的宪法修正案。
PH however withdrew its support for the state government in July in protest against a constitutional amendment allowing for the appointment of nominated assemblymen.
目前尚不清楚各政党联盟将在即将到来的马六甲州选举中选择哪些合作伙伴。
It is still unclear who the various political coalitions will pick as their partners for the upcoming Melaka polls.
国民阵线主席艾哈迈德·扎希德·哈米迪（Ahmad Zahid Hamidi）周日表示，与潜在合作伙伴的谈判已基本完成，预计该联盟将在选举日期确定后公布最终合作方案。
BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said on Sunday that negotiations with potential partners were about 95 per cent complete, with the coalition expected to announce the outcome after the election date is revealed on Wednesday.
截至2026年9月22日，马六甲州的选民人数为687,697人。
There are 687,697ed voters in Melaka as of Sep 22, 2026.
此次马六甲州选举的举行，距离国民阵线在森美兰州和柔佛州的大胜仅过去了几个月：在8月1日的森美兰州选举中，国民阵线与反对党国民联盟合作，赢得了36个席位中的25个；在7月的柔佛州选举中，国民阵线独立参选，赢得了56个席位中的48个。
The upcoming polls in Melaka comes just months after BN’s landslide victories in the Negeri Sembilan Johor state polls.
尽管国民阵线（BN）与土著团结党（PN）的执政党伊斯兰党（PAS）在森美兰州进行了合作，但两党领导人尚未就如何在马六甲州展开竞选达成一致。
It won 25 of 36 seats in Negeri Sembilan on Aug 1 as part of a pact with the opposition PN, and 48 of 56 seats in the Johor state election in July where it had contested solo.
据当地媒体报道，国民阵线表示将捍卫其在上一届大选中赢得的所有议席，而伊斯兰党则计划竞选马六甲州28个议席中的16个，包括由国民阵线的阿卜·劳夫（Ab Rauf）领导的丹绒比达拉（Tanjung Bidara）选区。
While BN and PN’s dominant party, the Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) cooperated in Negeri Sembilan, their leaders have not agreed on how they would contest in Melaka.
至于总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣（Anwar Ibrahim）领导的希望联盟（PH），据当地媒体此前报道，其马六甲州分部正在敲定谈判细节，包括与伊斯兰党（Bersatu）的磋商，以组建“希望联盟+”（PH Plus）合作阵线。
BN has reportedly said it will defend all seats it won in the last polls, but PAS has said it plans to contest 16 of Melaka’s 28 seats, including Tanjung Bidara, which is led by BN’s Ab Rauf, reported local media.
分析人士此前告诉新加坡《联合早报》（CNA），他们将密切关注国民阵线在马六甲州与谁合作，或者是否单独参选，并指出这将是安瓦尔和希望联盟面临的又一个挑战，因为他们尚未从在柔佛州和森美兰州的败选中恢复过来。另一个可能影响竞选的因素是，马来西亚国王于9月18日决定允许前总理纳吉布·拉扎克（Najib Razak）在支付5000万令吉（约合1226万美元）罚款的条件下，以居家监禁的方式服完剩余刑期。
As for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s PH, its Melaka chapter is finalising negotiations, including with Bersatu, to form a “PH Plus” collaboration, local media previously reported. Analysts earlier told CNA that they would be keeping an eye on who BN works with in Melaka, or if it goes solo, noting that it would be another challenge for Anwar and PH, who have not recovered from their defeats in Johor and Negeri Sembilan Another factor that could shape the campaign is the Malaysian king’s decision on Sep 18 to allow former Malaysia prime minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest, conditional on him paying a RM50 million (US$12.26 million) fine.
分析人士此前告诉CNA，鉴于这位73岁的前总理在国民阵线内部仍具有巨大影响力，纳吉布获得有条件赦免可能会提振国民阵线的选情。
Analysts earlier told CNA that Najib’s conditional pardon could give a boost to BN given the influence the 73-year-old still wields there.
马六甲州选举之际，马来西亚的政治联盟在下一届大选前仍在持续变动。第16届大选必须在2028年2月前举行，尽管安瓦尔表示，他愿意考虑提前举行大选的呼声。
The Melaka polls come as Malaysia’s political alliances continue to shift ahead of the next general election. The 16th General Election must be held by February 2028, although Anwar has said he is open to considering calls for an earlier vote.
