PAKATAN Harapan (PH) is banking on former chief minister Adly Zahari's 22-month administration to strengthen its bid for voter support as the Melaka state election campaign enters its final stretch.
Amanah president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said the coalition was highlighting Adly's track record in governing the state as a key selling point, while reporting improving responses from voters.
He said PH had initially faced a subdued reception when nominations opened but was now gaining momentum as polling day approached.
"We started on nomination day on a rather subdued note, but as polling day draws closer, we are beginning to receive a better response.
"Now, midway through the campaign, the response is improving. We hope to secure a victory, that is our aspiration," he said at a PH ceramah in Sempang Pantai, within the Merlimau constituency, last night.
Mohamad said Adly's record had also received recognition from former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad during his tenure as Melaka chief minister.
"We are highlighting, in particular, the service record of the former chief minister (Adly Zahari). We hope the people of Melaka will recognise his record," he said.
PH entered the election as the underdog, but Mohamad said the improving response had raised hopes of securing a victory.
Also present were Amanah Wanita chief Datuk Aiman Athirah Sabu and PH's Merlimau candidate Rahayu Hamzah.
Mohamad also urged early voters to cast their ballots today, calling on them to support PH and give the coalition an opportunity to govern based on Adly's previous record. - November 10, 2026
