Melaka polls: PH banking on own machinery, not Bersatu support

Melaka: Pakatan Harapan (PH) is relying on its own campaign machinery and supporters to secure the 24 seats it is aiming for in the upcoming Melaka election. PH chairman Adly Zahari emphasized that the support from Bersatu members and supporters alone would not ensure victory for PH candidates. Adly clarified that while PH does not prohibit its supporters from backing Bersatu candidates in certain constituencies, the party must continue its efforts to win over voters.

PH's main challenges lie with Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional. Adly asserted that PH members and supporters are capable of making their own choices in constituencies where the coalition is not contesting. However, PH's priority should be to strengthen its campaign machinery in the 24 seats it is contesting and mobilize support among voters.

PH is set to contest 24 out of the 28 seats in the Melaka election, with Bersatu contesting seven. The two parties are directly competing in Ayer Keroh, Klebang, and Pengkalan Batu. In Gadek, PH faces off against Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra), a party allied with Bersatu.
