KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) is expected to firm up its direction for the Melaka state election within a week, with candidate selection now in its final stages, coalition election strategy director Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said today.
He said the coalition wanted to field candidates with a record of serving the community and relevant experience, while giving newcomers opportunities in some constituencies where its traditional support was weaker.
“In some state constituencies where our support is relatively low, we will allow candidates to gain experience. This is part of the party’s and Pakatan Harapan’s long-term plan,” he told reporters after attending the Semarak Kasih event with Yayasan Selangor students here, national news wire Bernama reported.
