KLUANG: Voter apathy and disillusionment among Pakatan Harapan (PH) supporters contributed to lower turnout in the Negri Sembilan and Melaka elections, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook said.
He said the trend was particularly evident among DAP supporters and included fence-sitters who had previously backed PH but stayed away from polling stations.
Winning back their confidence and convincing them that PH remained the best choice was now a major challenge for the party, he said.
Some voters had become indifferent to politics, while others were disappointed or saw no reason to vote.
