  "account": "Amanah is confident of securing five out of seven seats in the upcoming Melaka state election, according to party vice-president Hatta Ramli. The vice-president described four of the five seats as being \"nearly assured.\" The party is contesting seven constituencies, including Bukit Katil, where former chief minister Adly Zahari is defending his seat. The other seats include Malay-majority areas of Kuala Linggi, Taboh Naning, Telok Mas, Merlimau, Sungai Rambai, and the mixed seat of Durian Tunggal. Hatta's optimism stems from the performance of Amanah's candidates and the success of the coalition in the 15th general election (GE15) in Melaka. The Election Commission has announced November 14 as polling day, with early voting on November 10.",
  "summary": "Hatta Ramli says the party hopes to win at least five of the seven seats it is contesting, citing the support PH enjoyed in Melaka in GE15.",
