KUALA LUMPUR: Melaka’s election results reflect public confidence in efforts to promote Malay-Muslim unity and voters’ hopes for fair, caring governance, Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang said.
Hadi said the results also reflected voters’ expectations of an administration that was just, compassionate and able to preserve harmony in the state’s multiracial society.
He expressed gratitude to the people of Melaka for the mandate and confidence given to Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Barisan Nasional (BN) in the election.
Hadi said Pas recognised the responsibility that came with the public’s trust and would focus on delivering a caring, fair and integrity-driven administration.
In a Facebook post, he also congratulated and thanked the leadership of PN and BN, candidates, party workers and campaign machinery for their commitment, sacrifices and cooperation throughout the election.
Unofficial results showed BN winning 21 of the 28 state assembly seats, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) secured four and PN three, giving the BN-PN alliance a two-thirds majority in the state assembly.
