State polls: Amanah may contest over 30 seats - Salahuddin

Amanah may contest over 30 seats in the simultaneous six state elections next month, said its deputy president Salahuddin Ayub.

He said the party may contest nine seats in Selangor, seven in Kelantan, and three in Negeri Sembilan.

“In Terengganu, Amanah will probably contest three or four seats and in Kedah, seven or eight,” he told reporters after checking prices at a hypermarket in Kuala Lumpur today.

Salahuddin said the party is confident to retain the seats it won in the 2018 general election and to win new ones, especially in the opposition-led states.

The Election Commission has set the six state polls to be held simultaneously on Aug 12, with nominations on July 29, and early voting on Aug 8.
