After Melaka defeat, Fahmi says Pakatan will examine candidates, youth vote and turnout
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) will examine its candidates’ preparedness, youth voting patterns...
Pakatan Harapan (PH) will conduct a post-mortem following its poor performance in the recent Melaka state election, focusing on candidate preparedness, youth voting trends, and voter turnout, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has announced. The coalition plans to hold an initial meeting this week to assess the results and pinpoint areas for improvement ahead of future elections.
Fahmi stressed that one key area of examination would be the readiness of candidates to effectively contest their seats and conduct successful campaigns. He noted that candidates in urban areas generally perform better, but for certain seats, the issue may be the candidates' preparedness. Additionally, PH will analyze the impact of the youth vote and lower voter turnout compared to the previous general election.
Despite the setback, with PH securing only four out of the 28 contested state seats compared to the previous election's five, Fahmi highlighted a positive aspect - DAP retained all its seats, marking the first time since the Sabah election that DAP did not lose any.
