DAP’s 4 Melaka seats reflect multiracial voters’ confidence, says Teo
The DAP vice-chairman says the achievement is particularly significant in Ayer Keroh, a mixed constituency where the party was expected to struggle.
DAP vice-chairman Teo Nie Ching has praised the party's triumph in the recent Melaka state election, attributing it to the relentless effort and unwavering service of the DAP's grassroots organization. The success of DAP in retaining all four contested seats in Melaka, particularly Ayer Keroh, a mixed constituency, signifies that its elected representatives have garnered trust from voters of various ethnic backgrounds.
Teo, who additionally serves as the Johor DAP chief, recognized the complexity of defending Ayer Keroh due to its diverse demographic composition. The vice-chairman credited the victory to the hard work and consistent service of the DAP machinery on the ground, emphasizing that the outcome disproves initial predictions. She also expressed gratitude towards the Johor DAP leadership, branches, and members who contributed to the campaign, highlighting the party's unity and discipline across different states.
The election results saw the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition securing 21 out of 28 seats, while Perikatan Nasional (PN) won 3 seats, resulting in a combined total of 24 seats for the two coalitions. DAP, however, emerged victorious in the remaining four seats – Ayer Keroh, Kesidang, Kota Laksamana, and Bandar Hilir – for Pakatan Harapan (PH).
