Incumbent Adly Zahari has held the Bukit Katil state seat since 2018.PETALING JAYA: Amanah is confident of defending the Bukit Katil seat in next month’s Melaka state election, despite political analyst Ong Kian Ming’s prediction that Barisan Nasional (BN) could take the seat.
Melaka Amanah chief Ashraf Mukhlis Minghat said the confidence was based on incumbent Adly Zahari’s service record, citing more than 280 initiatives over the last term.
“We have done our best in serving the people. It is now up to the voters to assess our performance and decide. Amanah’s election machinery in Bukit Katil is in optimal condition, and efforts to engage voters are already under way,” he told FMT.
Ong had previously predicted that BN could retain the 21 seats it won in the 2021 state election and potentially pick up three to four more. The predictions included BN wresting Bukit Katil from Adly as well as winning the DAP stronghold of Ayer Keroh.
