MELAKA – As the curtains drew to a close on the Melaka polls yesterday, Barisan Nasional (BN) had the last laugh as it celebrated a landslide win – clinching 21 of the 28 seats up for grabs.
While the Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi-led outfit’s triumph was expected, its two-thirds majority victory exceeded supposition.
Meanwhile, two other political blocs – Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) – were left to lick their wounds after only winning five and two seats, respectively.
PH’s sound defeat, which included an annihilation for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s PKR, is a severe blow to the opposition alliance.
Despite predictions that PN would suffer a wipeout, the outfit led by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin – which stood between two giant coalitions – managed to maintain its 2018 two-seat win, claiming Sg Udang and Bemban.
So, what can we learn from the Melaka election?
