Melaka PRN: PH accepts Melaka setback after winning only four seats

PAKATAN Harapan (PH) has won just four of the 24 seats it contested in the Melaka state election, with coalition chairman Adly Zahari saying the coalition accepts the voters’ decision.

Based on unofficial Election Commission results, PH retained Kota Laksamana, Kesidang, Ayer Keroh and Bandar Hilir.

Adly said the coalition respected the mandate given by voters and would take the results back to its leadership for further review.

“We accept the result openly and respect the mandate given by the people of Melaka,” he said.

He said PH’s performance in Melaka would be discussed at the coalition’s Presidential Council meeting, where its leaders would examine the reasons behind the outcome.

Adly also pointed to PH’s performance in Negeri Sembilan, saying the results of both state elections should be considered as part of a broader assessment of the coalition’s standing with voters.

“We will bring the Melaka results to the Presidential Council meeting for further assessment,” he said.

He was speaking at a press conference at PH’s main operations centre tonight. - November 14, 2026
