PKR sees Melaka polls as platform to rebuild strength - Adam Adli
MELAKA: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) views the Melaka state election as a “new platform” to rebuild its strength through a more mature political approach centred on ideas and policies that are clearly communicated to the people.
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) is viewing the upcoming Melaka state election as an opportunity to rebuild its political strength. Acting Chairman Adam Adli Abd Halim stated that the party aims to adopt a more mature political approach, focusing on clearly communicated ideas and policies to the people. Adli acknowledged that PKR faces a significant challenge in regaining public confidence, as it failed to win any state seats in the 2021 election.
The party will begin this endeavor without holding any state seats, requiring a shift away from patronage-based politics towards a more mature style. In the 2021 election, Barisan Nasional won 21 of the 28 seats, while Pakatan Harapan secured five and Perikatan Nasional two. The Melaka State Executive Council includes PH assemblymen, reflecting a Unity Government arrangement.
PKR leader Adam Adli emphasized that PH would enter the election with humility, seeking to build a coalition that remains close to the people and responsive to their needs. PKR must continue to address the concerns of all segments of society, particularly issues related to the cost of living, youth, education, home ownership, wages, and mental health.
The party's success should be measured by the extent to which its ideas and policies benefit the community, rather than political dominance. The Melaka state government's mandate ends on December 31, and the 2026 PKR National Congress will be held at the Melaka International Trade Centre from August 13 to 16, with the Prime Minister and PKR president, Anwar Ibrahim, set to officiate the event on August 15.
