Former Melaka chief minister Adly Zahari is set to lose the Bukit Katil state seat, according to unofficial results.
The Amanah vice-president was contesting in a straight fight against Perikatan Nasional’s Ridzuan Sarif of PAS.
Adly, who is also the Alor Gajah MP, first won Bukit Katil in the 2018 general election with a majority of 3,159 votes in a three-cornered contest.
He retained the seat in the 2021 Melaka state election, but his majority fell to 1,057 votes in a four-cornered contest.
