Melaka polls: PH-Bersatu pact may boost chances against BN

The Melaka polls may see a potential electoral cooperation between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Bersatu, possibly bolstering their chances against Barisan Nasional (BN). This collaboration could help PH shore up Malay support and give Bersatu a broader platform, addressing the biggest hurdle of convincing PH grassroots to accept Bersatu.

Both parties see the cooperation as realistic, as they have little to lose by exploring a new arrangement. However, its success may depend on whether PH grassroots can accept Bersatu, which is seen as having betrayed PH in the past.
