  "account": "Former Malacca Chief Minister Adly Zahari submitted his name for the Melaka parliamentary seat at the Tun Ali selection center in Bukit Katil today. (Photo by Bernama) Leading the Pakatan Harapan (PH) team in the fight to retain Bukit Katil, Adly faces four opponents aiming to thwart his re-election bid in the PRN Melaka. The incumbent is challenged by Ridzuan Sarif of the Perikatan Nasional (PN), Aliza Che Amran from Bersatu, and independent candidate Abu Bakar Sabudin. As the PH-Amanah candidate, Adly seeks to maintain the seat he has held since 2018. In the November 2021 general election, he defeated his Barisan Nasional (BN) opponent Hasnoor Sidang Husin with a 1,057-vote majority. Bukit Katil is a predominantly Malay constituency, with Malay voters accounting for nearly 65% of the total electorate, followed by Chinese voters (29%), Indian voters (5%), and others (1%). The Election Commission (SPR) has set November 14 as the election day, while early voting begins on November 10.",
