After Melaka defeat, Fahmi says Pakatan will examine candidates, youth vote and turnout

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — Following their poor performance in the Melaka state election, Pakatan Harapan (PH) plans to scrutinize several key aspects in a post-mortem. Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil announced that the coalition will hold an initial meeting this week to evaluate the results and pinpoint areas that require improvement before future elections.

One of the primary factors under review will be the readiness of the candidates, particularly in urban areas. Fahmi stated that the party will examine whether candidates were adequately prepared to contest their respective seats and execute effective campaigns. Additionally, the coalition will investigate the impact of the youth vote and lower voter turnout compared to the previous general election.

Fahmi asserted that the post-mortem would be an opportunity to reflect on the different factors contributing to the outcome and make the necessary adjustments to enhance PH's electoral performance in the future.
