“Some have already shared their initial views on the readiness of the election machinery on the ground, particularly in rural areas,” he told reporters after a press conference on the Pilot Project for the Safety System for Senior Citizens at Razak Mansion here today.

Also present were Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh and Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Fadlun Mak Ujud.

Fahmi, who is also PH communications director, said the assessment would also cover candidates’ preparedness in conducting their campaigns, voting patterns among younger voters and voter turnout in the state election compared with previous general elections.

He said that although PKR faced challenges in several constituencies, DAP’s success in retaining all the seats it contested was a positive development for the coalition.

In yesterday’s election, PH won four of the 28 State Legislative Assembly seats contested, namely Ayer Keroh, Kesidang, Kota Laksamana and Bandar Hilir.

Barisan Nasional (BN) won 21 seats, while Perikatan Nasional (PN) secured the remaining three.
