Former DAP MP and political analyst Ong Kian Ming projects that Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) will win 24 to 25 of the 28 state assembly seats in tomorrow’s (14 Nov) Melaka state election.
In statements published today (13 Nov), via his official Facebook page and the Keluar Sekejap podcast, Ong says Pakatan Harapan (PH) is projected to retain only three to four seats.
The former deputy minister notes that a decisive win for the BN-PN no-contest pact will strengthen cooperation between the two coalitions and pressure Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s federal unity government to survive its full term until the end of 2027.
Ong projects that Melaka PH chairman and former chief minister Adly Zahari of Amanah will lose his Bukit Katil seat to PAS candidate Ridzuan Sarif, noting that 68 per cent of Bukit Katil voters are Malays.
