The Government of Malacca refers to the government authority of the Malaysian state of Malacca. The state government adheres to and is created by both the Malaysian federal constitution, the supreme law of Malaysia, and the constitution of Malacca, the supreme law in Malacca. The government of Malacca is based in the town of Ayer Keroh instead of the state's official capital Malacca City.
The state government consists of only two branches - executive and legislative. The Malacca State Executive Council forms the executive branch, whilst the Malacca State Legislative Assembly is the legislature of the state government. Malacca's head of government is the chief minister. The state government does not have a judiciary branch, as Malaysia's judicial system is a federalised system operating uniformly throughout the country.[2][3]
Head of government
The Chief Minister is the head of government in Malacca. He is officially appointed by the Governor, Malacca's head of state, on the basis of the latter's judgement that the former commands the confidence of the majority of the State Assemblymen in the Malacca State Legislative Assembly.[4] The Chief Minister and his Executive Council shall be collectively responsible to Legislative Assembly. The Office of the Chief Minister is situated at the Seri Negeri complex Bendahara Block in Ayer Keroh.
The current Chief Minister of Malacca is Ab Rauf Yusoh of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), which controls the most seats in the State Legislative Assembly among the Barisan Nasional component parties. Yusoh was sworn in on 31 March 2023 after his predecessor Sulaiman Md Ali resigned two days prior on 29 March 2023.[5][6]
Cabinet
The Malacca State Executive Council forms the executive branch of the Malacca state government and is analogous in function to the Malaysian federal Cabinet. The Executive Council comprises the Chief Minister, and between four and ten other State Assemblymen from the Malacca State Legislative Assembly. Aside from these, three other ex officio members of the Executive Council are the State Secretary, the State Legal Adviser and the State Financial Officer.[4]
Members of the Executive Council since 31 March 2023 are as follows.

Legislature
The Malacca State Legislative Assembly is the legislative branch of the Malacca state government. The unicameral legislature consists of 28 seats that represent the 28 state constituencies within Malacca, with each constituency being represented by an elected State Assemblyman. The Legislative Assembly convenes at the Seri Negeri complex Laksamana Block in Ayer Keroh.
The legislature has a maximum mandate of five years by law and follows a multi-party system; the ruling party (or coalition) is elected through a first-past-the-post system.[4] The Governor may dissolve the legislature at any time and usually does so upon the advice of the Chief Minister.
A Speaker is elected by the Legislative Assembly to preside over the proceedings and debates of the legislature. The Speaker may or may not be an elected State Assemblyman; in the case of the latter, the elected Speaker shall become a member of the Legislative Assembly additional to the elected State Assemblymen already in the legislature.[4]
