Pakatan targets 18-seat victory to regain power in Melaka

[superadmin]

MELAKA – Pakatan Harapan (PH) is confident of winning at least 18 of the 28 seats in the upcoming Melaka election, enough to secure a majority to form a new government.

Melaka PKR chief Datuk Halim Bachik said this projection is based on the sentiments of voters on the ground and their acceptance of the coalition.

He added that the strict standard operating procedures, which bar physical campaigning, are unlikely to hamper PH’s chances of bagging a second victory in just slightly more than three years in the coastal state.

“For PKR alone, we are fully convinced that we will win a minimum of six or seven seats. God willing, we can even secure nine,” he said in a virtual press conference today.

“When I go to the ground, for example, to Sg Rambai, the people accept us. They didn’t want the election, but it was forced because of the conflict among the government assemblymen.
