MELAKA: Overcoming Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional will be no easy feat, particularly as political rivals seek to consolidate their strength amid multi-cornered contests.
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said he hoped voters in Melaka would consolidate their ballots behind PH to avoid split votes that could inadvertently hand victory to their rivals.
He said the emergence of new, splinter parties contesting in three-to-four-cornered fights serves only to fragment the opposition vote, effectively paving the way for a BN and PN victory.
"Defeating BN and Perikatan Nasional is not easy. While new parties have every right to contest, voting for them will only dilute our strength.
