SEREMBAN: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will hit the campaign trail in Negri Sembilan today to reinforce Pakatan Harapan's momentum in the ongoing state election.

Marking the fifth day of campaigning, the PH chairman's initial campaign appearance is expected to give a major boost to the coalition's drive to retain the state government led by Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.

Anwar, who is also PKR president, is scheduled to attend four programmes across Ampangan, Paroi, Sikamat, and Senawang, featuring engagements with local communities and youth, as well as a PH mega 'ceramah'.

He will begin his schedule at 4pm with 'Santai Petang Bersama Warga Ampangan' at Benteng @ Medan Selera Ampangan, before attending the 'Jelajah Rakan Muda' programme at the Negri Sembilan Youth and Sports Complex in Paroi at 5pm.

Tonight, he is scheduled to attend the Sikamat constituency unity dinner before joining the Paroi PH mega ceramah at Pusat Bandar Senawang.

Anwar's presence is also expected to reinforce PH's campaign message following its manifesto launch on Monday, which outlined 10 key commitments to make Negri Sembilan a more developed and inclusive state.

In the 16th Negri Sembilan election, PH is contesting all 36 state seats, featuring 16 candidates from PKR, 11 from DAP, and nine from Amanah.

The Election Commission has set early voting on July 28, with polling day on Aug 1. - NST
