KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has congratulated Barisan Nasional (BN) on its victory in the 16th Melaka State Election.
He said the mandate reflected the trust placed in BN by the people of Melaka. He also expressed hope that the party would fulfil its responsibilities and prioritise the well-being of the state and its residents.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Anwar called on all parties to move forward and focus on the people’s interests.
He also assured that the federal government would continue working closely with the Melaka state government. This cooperation, he said, would help drive development and improve the well-being of the people.
Meanwhile, Anwar thanked all voters who came forward to fulfil their democratic responsibility during the election.
He also recognised the efforts of Pakatan Harapan (PH) campaign teams and candidates who took part in the contest.
In the election, BN won 21 of the 28 state assembly seats, securing a two-thirds majority. PH, meanwhile, won four seats.
The result gives BN a strong mandate to continue leading Melaka, while cooperation between the state and federal governments is expected to remain important for the state’s development.
