Amanah has postponed its national convention to accommodate the Melaka state election campaign schedule, party officials said. The Election Commission set November 14 as polling day for the state assembly election, prompting the party to reschedule its gathering.
The move reflects the party's focus on mobilising resources and personnel for the state-level contest. Amanah, which is part of the Pakatan Harapan coalition, aims to maintain its representation in the Melaka assembly.
Party leaders have not yet announced a new date for the national convention, which typically addresses party strategy, leadership matters and policy directions. The postponement underscores the significance of the Melaka election, which serves as a bellwether for political sentiment in the region.
The Melaka state election will see competition among multiple coalitions vying for control of the 36-seat assembly. Results are expected to provide insights into voter preferences ahead of potential national political developments.
