  "summary": "Amanah President Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu expressed confidence that incumbent Adly Zahari will retain his seat in the Bukit Katil constituency during the 16th Melaka State Election. This optimism is based on the positive public reception towards Adly, who is also the Melaka Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman. Mohamad, who is the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, accompanied Adly to the nomination centre, where they were joined by Amanah Women’s Wing Chief Datuk Aiman Athirah Sabu. The PH campaign strategy will focus on the constituencies they are contesting, while acknowledging that voters might be confused by the presence of both PH and BN in the federal government. The polling day for the 16th Melaka State Election is set for November 14, with early voting on November 10.",
