DAP’s Kerk in 4-cornered fight for 3rd term at Ayer Keroh
The seat, held by the party since 2008, is mixed, with Chinese voters making up 47.6% of the electorate, followed by Malays (42.4%) and Indians (8.3%).
DAP's Chee Yee Kerk has entered the fray against four opponents in a bid to retain the Ayer Keroh DUN seat for the third term. The candidate, who was first elected in 2018, is facing off against Gerakan Melaka Head Michael Gan (from the Perikatan Nasional coalition), Muhaimin Lau Abdullah (Bersama), and Hamnaim Mohamad (Bersatu).
Ayer Keroh is a staunch DAP stronghold, having been controlled by the Pakatan Harapan component party since 2008. In 2018, Kerk won the seat with a landslide victory of 9,261 votes. The DAP's Public Relations Secretary for Melaka maintained the seat's control with relative ease during the 2021 PRN, despite a smaller majority of 5,624 votes.
Ayer Keroh is a mixed constituency, with the Chinese community forming the largest grouping at 47.6%, followed by Malays (42.4%) and Indians (8.3%).
