DAP pertahan 4 kerusi di Melaka bukti keyakinan rakyat berbilang kaum, kata Teo

Naib Pengerusi DAP, Teo Nie Ching, praised the party's diversity and grassroots support for DAP's success in retaining four seats in the Melaka state election. She emphasized the significance of this achievement, particularly in maintaining Ayer Keroh, a mixed constituency with 46% Chinese, 44.1% Malay, and 8.2% Indian voters. Teo, who is also Johor DAP's deputy president, had predicted the seat would be difficult to retain due to its complex demographic landscape.

Nevertheless, she commended the party's unwavering efforts and continued service shown by the party's diversity. She acknowledged the support extended by Johor's state leadership, party branches, and members from across the nation, which highlighted the party's strength in solidarity and discipline, regardless of geographical boundaries.

In the 16th Melaka PRN, the Barisan Nasional (BN) secured 21 out of 28 parliamentary seats, while the Perikatan Nasional (PN) gained three seats, making a total of 24 seats for the BN-PN coalition. The Pakatan Harapan (PH) won four seats, including Ayer Keroh, Kesidang, Kota Laksamana, and Bandar Hilir.
