Amanah strategy director Ahmad Sabki Yusof said 18 of the 32 seats the party is eyeing have been identified as priority constituencies.PETALING JAYA: Amanah plans to contest 32 parliamentary seats in the 16th general election (GE16), fewer than the 54 it vied for in the 2022 national polls (GE15).

Amanah strategy director Ahmad Sabki Yusof said 18 of the 32 seats have been identified as priority constituencies, adding that the targets were agreed upon during the party leadership's retreat in September.

He said Amanah must begin its election preparations immediately rather than wait for Parliament to be dissolved, Berita Harian reported.

"We have listed all the seats Amanah intends to contest and identified our priority constituencies," he was quoted as saying.
