PAKATAN Harapan (PH) is stepping up its campaign in 15 targeted constituencies in a final push to secure sufficient seats to form the Melaka state government, with young and first-time voters among its key targets.
Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim said the coalition was intensifying voter engagement through social media and grassroots campaigning, recognising the need to adapt to changing communication trends.
He said while digital platforms were increasingly important in reaching younger voters, personal engagement remained essential in convincing the electorate.
"While social media is an important campaign platform, traditional methods of engaging directly with voters must not be overlooked.
"We are dealing with people who need a personal touch. Every candidate must make every effort to meet voters in their respective constituencies," he told reporters at the PH operations centre for the Machap Jaya constituency in Batu Lesung yesterday.
Muhammad Kamil, who is also the political secretary to the Finance Minister, said he had visited almost all constituencies contested by PH and would cover the remaining areas during the final five days of campaigning.
He said PH's election machinery would intensify its ground operations in the second week of campaigning to strengthen support and encourage higher voter turnout.
"We hope to maintain the positive momentum until polling day and intensify our efforts in the remaining campaign period to convince more voters to support us," he said.
He said the coalition was concentrating its efforts on 15 seats, with its machinery committed to securing support across all the constituencies.
"God willing, our election machinery in all 15 constituencies will work hard to bring about change in Melaka," he said.
The Election Commission has set Nov 10 for early voting and Nov 14 for polling. - November 9, 2026
