MELAKA: DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook has stressed that Datuk Seri Adly Zahari must retain his Bukit Katil seat for Pakatan Harapan (PH) to appoint him as Melaka chief minister, even if the coalition secures enough seats to form the next state government.
He said defending PH’s existing constituencies was crucial to its ambition of regaining control of the state, particularly Bukit Katil, where Adly is seeking a third consecutive term.
“Even if we secure a majority, if we fail to win Bukit Katil, he cannot become chief minister.
“We must ensure that Bukit Katil continues to support Adly,” he said during the Jelajah Harapan Melaka Rumah Kita grand finale in Hang Tuah Jaya on Thursday night.
