Duyong was decided by just 200 votes in 2021, and this time Barisan National's incumbent faces an even stranger fight. His challenger from Pakatan Harapan's DAP is someone he calls a friend, forged through years of cooperation in the state government. Melaka votes on November the 14th, UMNO is testing its new alliance with PAS after wins in Johor and Negeri Sembilan, and 79 candidates are chasing 28 seats across the state.
YB Datuk Mohd Noor Helmi, Barisan National's candidate for Duyong, talks through what it means to campaign against an ally, and why he thinks explaining the UMNO-PAS pact to voters was actually easier than explaining past cooperation with Pakatan. He breaks down how 2021's PAS votes factor into his arithmetic this time round, and what Duyong's younger and older voters actually want from him.
Left hanging: whether the Barisan-PAS partnership survives beyond polling day, a question he says isn't his to answer.
