Melaka, Nov 21 — Perikatan \u00a0Nasional (PN) chairman\u00a0Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin accepted the party\u2019s loss in the Melaka state election today with an open heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He hoped Barisan Nasional (BN) would translate its victory into fulfilling its pledges to the people as found in the party\u2019s manifesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Congratulations to BN over the success to form the government of Melaka. The people of Melaka have chosen their candidates and the results are now out<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At PN level, we are grateful our candidates have succeeded in defending the number of\u00a0seats we won earlier and for others, we are grateful\u00a0as most of our candidates received an encouraging number of votes,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, Muhyiddin said an in-depth study would be conducted on the results of the Melaka election today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will see whether it is related to voter turnout, PN machinery, or other problems. This will give us the guide for\u00a0the\u00a0follow-up measures especially for the coming general election,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perikatan Nasional won the Sungai Udang seat when its candidate\u00a0Mohd Aleef Yusof polled 6,789 votes to defeat Datuk Mohamad Ali Mohamad (BN), Hasmorni Tamby (Pakatan Harapan), and\u00a0Mohd Zahar Hashim (Independent) in a four-cornered fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second seat Perikatan Nasional won was the Bemban seat through its candidate,\u00a0Mohd Yadzil Yaakub who received 4,211 votes to defeat Koh Chin Han of\u00a0BN, Tey Kok Kiew (Pakatan Harapan), Ng Choon Koon (Independent), and\u00a0Azmi Kamis (Independent) in the five-cornered battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Perikatan Nasional’s chief minister candidate,\u00a0Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin was defeated by Melaka Umno liaison committee chairman Datuk Ab Rauf Yusoh (BN) in the Tanjung Bidara seat in a there-cornered fight as she could only muster\u00a03,195 votes against 3,559 by Rauf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other challenger was\u00a0Zainal Hassan of Pakatan Harapan.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
