General : Kerk Youngest Winner In Melaka Polls, Ab Rauf Oldest
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Kerk Chee Yee, 34, emerged as the youngest winner in the 16th Melaka State Election, while incumbent Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh, 65, was the oldest.
In Melaka, the DAP has firmly stated they will remain a part of Pakatan Harapan (PH) following the recent election results. Party chairman Khoo Poay Tiong made this clear at a press conference, asserting that the DAP's commitment to PH remains unshaken. He emphasized that relations between the three component parties of PH are strong and intact, despite the coalition's disappointing performance.
The DAP managed to hold onto all four of its state seats, namely Kota Laksamana, Kesidang, Ayer Keroh, and Bandar Hilir. However, Khoo acknowledged that the overall performance of PH did not meet the desired expectations. He stressed the need for all component parties to take collective responsibility for the electoral outcome, rather than singling out any individual party for blame.
