Representing the constituency for two terms, Adly is aware of the competitive landscape but insists he has not taken the challenge lightly. Despite serving two terms, he maintains that all parties and coalitions have their own strengths and cannot be dismissed.\n\nAdly, who is also Deputy Defence Minister, emphasized that he will continue campaigning, with a focus on appealing to voters, particularly the addition of about 4,000 young voters to the constituency's electorate. He aims to ensure residents are aware of the work done in Bukit Katil over the past eight years and the PH's future plans if elected again.\n\nDuring his tenure as the assemblyman, Adly addressed issues such as flooding, which affected parts of the constituency.
