PRN Melaka: Bersatu terus ‘merana’, kalah semua 7 kerusi
Parti pimpinan Muhyiddin Yassin sebelum ini tewas pada PRN Johor dan Negeri Sembilan.
Bersatu suffered a comprehensive defeat in the Melaka PRN, failing to win any of the seven constituencies once again, following similar outcomes in Johor and Negeri Sembilan elections. This latest loss leaves Muhyiddin Yassin's party without regaining their Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) seat in Melaka, after winning two seats in PRN 2021.
Among the unsuccessful candidates were Bersatu Deputy President Mohamad Ali Mohamad in Kelebang, as well as the Vice President of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) Lim Ban Hong from the Barisan Nasional (BN). Mohamad Ali, a former deputy chief minister, had previously contested in Sungai Udang under the BN ticket in PRN 2021 but failed and subsequently joined Bersatu in 2024.
Other unsuccessful Bersatu candidates included former Pengkalan Batu Adun Norhizam Hassan Baktee, Muhammad Rabaie Ab Hamid in Bemban, and Abdullah Mahadi in Sungai Udang. Three additional constituencies lost to Bersatu were Lendu, Pantai Kundor, and Ayer Keroh. In PRN 2021, Bersatu won Bemban with Dr Yadzil Yaakub and Sungai Udang with Dr Aleef Yusof under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) ticket; however, both representatives later joined the Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan).
The party's defeat in Melaka mirrors its consistent poor performance after losing all 16 seats in the PRN Johor election on July 11th and all 24 seats in PRN Negeri Sembilan on August 1st. This makes it the fourth consecutive comprehensive loss for Bersatu. In this latest PRN Melaka, Bersatu contested using their own logo despite remaining a member of PN.
