KLANG – Amanah will contest at least eight states in the coming Selangor polls, all of which the party won in the 2018 general election (GE14).  

Its president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, however, could not confirm how many seats Amanah will contest in total this time around.

“I am not sure how many (in total), but we will be defending all of our seats.

“The final number will be decided by the Pakatan Harapan presidential council in due time,” he told reporters after officiating the opening of Kompleks Sukan 89 Arena here today.

In GE14, Amanah won in Taman Templer, Hulu Kelang, Pandah Indah, Sg Ramal, Seri Serdang, Meru, Sabak, and Morib.

However, two of those seats switched hands after Mohd Fakhrulrazi Mohd Mokhtar and  Ahmad Mustain Othman, its assemblymen for Meru and Sabak respectively, joined PKR two years ago. – Bernama, June 25, 2023
