Melaka polls: Independent candidates can be kingmakers, says Norhizam


MELAKA: It is not impossible for Independent candidates in the Melaka state election to be the "kingmakers" if none of the big players succeed in forming the state government after polling day on Nov 20, according to independent candidate for the Pengkalan Batu seat Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee.

He thinks that there are voters who no longer want to choose any of the big coalitions but instead opt for independent candidates.
