Amanah dismisses Bukit Katil loss predictions, targets seat gains

The PKR-aligned party's Melaka chief Ashraf Mukhlis Minghat said the strong service record of state assemblyman Adly Zahari would counter claims made by opposition figures, including DAP's Ong Kian Ming. Ashraf expressed optimism that the party would not only retain its current seat but also make gains elsewhere in the state. The comments come as opposition analysts have predicted potential losses for Amanah in certain constituencies ahead of upcoming electoral contests. Amanah has sought to emphasize its grassroots development work and constituent engagement as key factors that would determine voter support. The party is banking on local performance metrics and community feedback to guide its electoral strategy in Melaka, a state where coalition politics remain highly competitive.
