Amanah saran PH tanding solo PRN Melaka, PRU16

Pengarah komunikasi Amanah, Khalid Samad, suggested Pakatan Harapan (PH) should contest Melaka's single-member constituency (SMP) and the 16th General Election (PRU16) solo to strengthen the political identity of the coalition, following the Barisan Nasional (BN) partnership with PAS in the upcoming poll. According to Khalid, this approach would enable PH to present clear, principled ideas, principles, and candidates to the people without confusion from coalition work with other parties.

He emphasized that the threat to Malays and Islam is not from PH or DAP, but from the political practices of Umno and PAS. The PH must clearly state its rejection of Umno's financial politics and PAS's autocracy, while explaining to voters, especially Malays, why these two political practices are wrong. They must be reminded that there is a third political option for Malays, championed by Malays in PH, whether through Amanah, PKR, or DAP, advocating for good governance, efficiency, success, and charity.

Rejecting Umno and PAS must be the rallying cry for PH in the Melaka SMP and PRU16. The BN is currently in a coalition with the national government, but in the recent Negeri Sembilan SMP, BN formed a successful alliance with PN, winning two-thirds of the seats. Recently, BN's Secretary, Zahid Hamidi, confirmed this alliance would also collaborate with PN in Melaka's SMP, with BN contesting 21 seats while PAS and their PN allies contest the remaining seven.

The Election Commission has set the nomination deadline for candidates on October 31, followed by the first count on November 10 and the final count on November 14.
