KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) will examine its candidates’ preparedness, youth voting patterns and lower voter turnout as part of a post-mortem following its disappointing performance in the Melaka state election.

Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said the coalition would hold an initial meeting this week to assess the results and identify areas that need improvement ahead of future elections.

He said one of the issues that needed to be examined was whether candidates were adequately prepared to contest their respective seats and carry out effective campaigns.

“This is an experience that we take as a lesson and reflect on what has happened. The party will do a post-mortem to ascertain the aspects that we need to discuss.
