Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh is sworn in as Chief Minister of Melaka for a second term after BN and PN secure victory in the 16th Melaka State Election. BH Berita Harian and myMetro both place the event at Ayer Keroh and describe Ab Rauf as continuing his leadership following the election win.
Free Malaysia Today frames the story around Ab Rauf’s earlier appointment, stating he was first made chief minister in 2023. Another BH Berita Harian report says he was expected to take the oath on the day of publication and another preview looks to the following day, linking the timing to the coalition’s success at the state election.
A separate BH Berita Harian piece adds political context by reporting that Ahmad Zahid says Ab Rauf is set to remain Chief Minister, citing the election outcome: BN and PN reportedly won in the majority of state seats, leading to the formation of the state government.
