Pakatan wants 18 seats in Melaka, and to keep the five it already has

Melaka, October 31 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) aims to secure victory in 18 out of the 24 seats up for grabs in the upcoming Melaka state election. The coalition also intends to retain the five seats it currently holds in the state. The target has been set based on an evaluation of PH’s resources, the competence of its candidates, and the level of acceptance from the local populace.

Adly Zahari, the chairman of PH in Melaka, revealed these intentions to reporters following a media luncheon in Ayer Keroh. Adam Adli Abd Halim, acting chairman of the PKR party in Melaka, was also present at the event. PH's candidate list comprises 10 from PKR, seven each from Amanah and DAP. The Election Commission has designated November 14 as the election day, with nominations set for October 31 and early voting on November 10.
