  "account": "Melaka: Amanah is bullish on its chances of securing all seven contested seats in the state election, according to its president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu. The confidence aligns with Pakatan Harapan's goal of winning 18 out of the 24 seats it is fighting for. Speaking at a press conference following a PH campaign event in Telok Gong, Mohamad highlighted PH's ongoing appeal among younger voters while also providing opportunities to candidates across all age groups. He encouraged qualified and capable young individuals to run for office and represent the public. At 27, Mohamad himself made his first candidacy bid. The minister emphasized that focusing on young candidates does not marginalize veteran politicians, as PH represents individuals from all age brackets. Regarding support at the nomination rally, Mohamad cautioned that a large turnout does not guarantee victory, drawing from his previous experience with Pas where a large supporter turnout did not equate to a win. He expressed hope that the anticipated support for Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional would not sway Melaka voters on election day. PH aims to win 18 of the 24 seats in the Melaka election, including retaining the five seats it previously held. The coalition's candidates are split between PKR, with 10 candidates, and DAP and Amanah, each fielding seven candidates.",
