跟进：马华甲州选风波：国阵主席扎希承诺10月31日前协商解决，称候选人委任状尚未签发
马来西亚马六甲州选候选人名单风波出现新进展：国阵主席、副首相阿末扎希10月25日表示，国阵与马华将在10月31日提名日之前共同讨论并解决争议，候选人名单仍有调整空间。
扎希当天在霹雳州峇眼拿督为苏丹纳兹林沙大桥跑步活动主持开幕后对媒体说，他在24日晚候选人公布仪式前已与马华总会长魏家祥会面；魏家祥对秘书处事先没有通知公布安排感到惊讶，他理解由此造成的混乱。扎希说，初步协调工作已交由马六甲国阵主席阿都拉勿夫与马华州领导层对接；若对人选有异议仍可协商，因为他尚未签发候选人委任状，最终交由马华总会长处理。
此前，国阵10月24日晚在马六甲国际贸易中心公布21个州议席候选人名单，其中马华仅获两席：马接再也原任州议员魏喜森与吉里望原任州议员林万锋，均原区守土。魏家祥因事先未获通知、未参与议席谈判，率马六甲州六个区会领袖与党员集体离席，并表示马华不承认未经党领导层同意公布的人选，是否参选将在提名日之前决定。马六甲州选提名日为10月31日，提前投票日为11月10日，投票日为11月14日。

Follow-Up: BN Chairman Zahid Pledges to Resolve MCA Melaka Candidate Row Before Oct. 31, Says Appointment Letters Still Unsigned
The dispute over Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates for Malaysia's Melaka state election saw a new development on October 25, as BN chairman and Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the coalition and the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) will discuss and resolve the matter before nomination day on October 31, and that the candidate list can still be adjusted.
Speaking to reporters in Bagan Datuk, Perak, after officiating at the Sultan Nazrin Shah Bridge Run, Zahid said he had met MCA president Wee Ka Siong before the candidate announcement ceremony on the evening of October 24, and that Wee had been surprised because the secretariat had not notified him of the announcement arrangement — confusion Zahid said he understood. Initial coordination has been entrusted to Melaka BN chairman Ab Rauf Yusoh together with the state MCA leadership, Zahid said, and any disputed names can still be negotiated because he has not yet signed the candidates' letters of appointment (watikah); the final handling rests with the MCA president.
The dispute began on the night of October 24, when BN unveiled its candidates for 21 state seats at the Melaka International Trade Centre and the MCA received only two: incumbents Ngwe Hee Sem in Machap Jaya and Lim Ban Hong in Klebang, both defending their seats. Wee, who said he had received no prior notice and had not been part of the seat negotiations, led the leaders and members of the MCA's six Melaka divisions in a walkout, saying the party does not recognize candidates announced without its top leadership's consent and will decide before nomination day whether to contest. Nomination day for the Melaka state election is October 31, with early voting on November 10 and polling on November 14.
