  "account": "Alor Gajah, November 9 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) is ramping up its efforts to win over young voters, especially first-time voters, in the upcoming 16th Melaka state election, according to Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim. The party is adapting its campaign strategies to align with changing communication trends, particularly focusing on young people who are more engaged on social media. Kamil emphasized that while social media is a vital campaign platform, personal interactions with voters are equally crucial. He stated that each candidate must strive to meet voters in their respective constituencies to connect on a personal level. Kamil has already visited most of the constituencies where PH is contesting in Melaka and intends to cover the remaining areas during the final five days of campaigning. The party's election machinery is also expected to intensify its efforts to engage with voters during the second week of campaigning to boost PH's support and turnout. PH is currently focusing on securing 15 seats in the state to form the government. The Election Commission has designated November 10 as early voting day and November 14 as the polling day.
