MELAKA – Melaka DAP is aware that holding the 15th general election (GE15) now disadvantages the opposition, said vice-chairman Khoo Poay Tiong.
The incumbent Kota Melaka MP said the opposition faces a big challenge as GE15 would be held during the flood season, making it difficult for the party to campaign.
“To hold an election during the floods is going to be a challenge and disadvantage to the opposition parties.
“The Melaka election was held just last year, and less than a year after that, we have to face GE15, so of course it is not favourable to us in terms of resources, especially our machinery,” he told a press conference here today.
Meanwhile, he hoped that the distribution of seats between Pakatan Harapan component parties could be resolved before Deepavali celebrations on Oct 24.
He said Melaka DAP chairman Damian Yeo Shen Li has formed a committee to gather the names of candidates to be fielded in GE15 for consideration by the party leadership. – Bernama, October 13, 2022
