Melaka polls: PN’s woman chief minister gamble fails to pay off

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 — The move by Perikatan Nasional to offer the option of a woman chief minister eventually proved not good enough for the coalition to woo the majority of voters in the 15th state election yesterday.

This was the first time a woman had been named as chief minister candidate in a state election and Mas Ermieyati was also considered as the ‘new face’ for the post compared to former Melaka chief ministers Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali and PH’s Adly Zahari, both of whom won comfortably in Lendu and Bukit Katil respectively.

Sulaiman’s experience and maturity in governing Melaka previously proved that he was eligible to be elected again to lead the historical state, he said. Sulaiman was sworn in as Melaka’s 13th Chief Minister before Melaka Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Rustam at Istana Melaka tonight.
