MIC to defend Gadek in Melaka polls, says Saravanan
Its deputy president says the party may take on more seats subject to the strength of the candidates and the prospects of winning.
MIC deputy president M Saravanan has announced that the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) will defend its existing state seat, Gadek, in the upcoming Melaka election. However, the party is also considering the possibility of contesting additional constituencies, according to Saravanan. The MIC leadership is currently assessing a range of factors before making a final decision on any potential additional seats, including the suitability of the constituencies, the strength of potential candidates, and the likelihood of victory.
Saravanan, who is also the MP for Tapah, revealed that party president SA Vigneswaran is evaluating potential candidates, with a decision expected in the near future. The MIC, which contested under the Barisan Nasional banner in the 2021 Melaka state polls, won the Gadek seat with its candidate VP Shanmugam by a margin of 559 votes.
