Amanah to contest eight seats in Melaka state election

Amanah will field candidates in eight seats for the Melaka state election, party president Mohamed Sabu announced, as the opposition coalition continues preparations for the upcoming ballot.

The party will retain Bukit Katil, its current seat in the state assembly, while working to finalize its candidate lineup for the remaining seven constituencies, Sabu said. The announcement comes as Melaka prepares for its state election following the dissolution of the previous assembly.

Amanah's participation underscores the broader opposition strategy to contest multiple seats across the state, as various parties work to finalize their electoral preparations. The party has been a consistent player in Melaka politics and seeks to expand its representation in the state legislature.

The finalisation of Amanah's candidate list is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, with party leadership continuing discussions on seat allocations within the opposition framework for the polls.
