BERSAMA and Bersatu have failed to win a single seat in the Melaka state election, dealing a blow to both parties as they attempt to strengthen their political standing ahead of the next general election.
The outcome is particularly disappointing for Bersama, which contested 16 constituencies but failed to convert its participation into electoral success.
The latest setback follows a similar performance in Johor in July, where the party also drew a blank despite fielding candidates in 15 seats.
Its strongest showing in Melaka came in Bemban, where candidate Dr Muhammad Solehin Saleh secured more than 3,000 votes but was unable to overcome Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) Dr Yadzil Yaakub, according to unofficial results.
