Ilham Centre expects Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional to dominate Saturday's Melaka election, with Pakatan Harapan favourites only in Kota Laksamana and Bandar Hilir. (Facebook pic)MELAKA: Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional are "leading" their opponents in 24 of the 28 state seats in Melaka, think tank Ilham Centre said.
In a survey released on the eve of the Melaka polls, Ilham Centre attributed the BN-PN dominance to the acceptance level of their electoral partnership, their effective grassroots machinery, and high approval ratings for the state government.
Its findings showed that 91% of PN supporters were willing to vote for BN candidates, while 78% of BN supporters were prepared to back the PN candidates.
