Party secretary-general Loke Siew Fook said DAP finished third in Bemban in the 2021 state election but came second in the other seats it lost.PETALING JAYA: DAP will not contest the Bemban seat in the upcoming Melaka state election having assessed that its chances of winning are slim, says party secretary-general Loke Siew Fook.
Loke said Bemban was the only seat DAP contested in the 2021 state election where it finished third, while the party came second in the other seats it failed to win, Utusan Malaysia reported.
He said DAP was prioritising the defence of its four incumbent seats among the seven it will contest, rather than spreading its resources too thinly.
"We want to make sure our strength and resources, including our focus, are concentrated on seats we can win.
