PH banks on track record in three states to win Melaka

MELAKA: Pakatan Harapan is banking on its experience governing Selangor, Penang and Negri Sembilan as it seeks to win over voters in the Nov 14 Melaka election.

Prime Minister's political secretary Datuk Azman Abidin said PH had experience managing the administrations in the three states and hoped Melaka voters would give the coalition the same opportunity.

He said PH believed its governing experience could serve as a foundation for leading Melaka.

"We know PH has a good track record, having successfully managed the administrations in Selangor, Penang and Negri Sembilan.

"If the people of Melaka give us the opportunity to lead the state, God willing, we will do our best, just as we have done in Selangor, Penang and Negri Sembilan," he said after the closing ceremony of Minggu Melaka Ceria in Tanjung Minyak last night.

Azman said PH's main aim was to give voters a choice in deciding which party should lead the state.

On Saturday, PH chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced the coalition's 21 candidates for the Melaka polls, with PKR contesting nine seats, DAP seven and Amanah five.

The line-up comprises 13 new faces, five incumbent assemblymen retained as candidates and three candidates who had contested in previous elections.

Deputy Defence Minister and Melaka PH chairman Adly Zahari is among the coalition's key candidates, while Azman will contest the Paya Rumput state seat.
