ALOR GAJAH – Melaka Pakatan Harapan (PH) does not rule out the possibility of having outside candidates contest on its ticket in the state’s six parliamentary seats in the 15th general election.

Its chairman Adly Zahari said it’s on the condition that the “parachute” candidates are able to provide the best service for the Melaka people.

“This party is national...there is no line or state borders that prevent us from serving the people. So, we are looking for candidates who are able to provide services to the community,”he said.

He told this to reporters after attending the “Jelajah Mega Harapan Negeri Melaka” programme and the launch of the Taman Sg Petai Permai Melaka PH election machinery by the coalition’s chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also PKR president.

On the list of PH candidates in Melaka, Adly said it would be announced after Amanah had finalised its list, expected by October 30.

He said the candidates would comprise old and new faces. – Bernama, October 26, 2022
