Bersatu eyes up to 10 seats in Melaka, wants 2 former strongholds
Melaka Bersatu information chief Hishamuddin Abdul Karim says the party wants to defend Bemban and Sungai Udang, which it won in the 2021 state election.
The Bersatu party in Melaka aims to defend its two state seats, Bemban and Sungai Udang, which they won in the 2021 election. Dr Yadzil Yaakub and Dr Aleef Yusof, representing the Bersatu-Perikatan Nasional (PN) alliance, currently hold these positions. However, both incumbents have since departed from Bersatu to join the opposition party Wawasan.
Despite this turnover, Hishamuddin Abdul Karim, Bersatu's information chief, expressed confidence that the party will still actively contest these seats. He stated that Bersatu is expected to contest up to ten of Melaka's 28 state seats, but no more than ten, in cooperation with another party, should such an agreement be reached.
Wawasan's vice-president, Rahim Thamby Chik, has indicated that his party is determined to contest these two specific seats, irrespective of any potential PN-Barisan Nasional collaboration.
