Outstation voters key to determining next Kelantan state gov't - Amanah

 

STATE POLLS | Amanah has described outstation Kelantanese voters as the key to determining the next state government in the upcoming state election on Aug 12.

Party vice president Adly Zahari said that based on previous analyses, the Kelantan people had long rejected the existing government.

He said it was not impossible for the parties under the unity government to be given the mandate to lead the state.

Adly said the Kelantan people were longing for a change, considering that the current government was making life difficult for the people, especially the ongoing water issue, land issues and job opportunities in the state.

"The challenge in Kelantan is the outstation voters who do not live in the state, while this is the best time for the people of Kelantan to make a change to develop the state in line with the aspirations of the unity government.

"In fact, I know that the Kelantan government actually did not dissolve the state assembly in the 15th General Election because they knew and were not confident that they would win if they dissolved it at the time," he said.

Adly, the deputy defence minister was speaking to reporters after opening the 54th State representatives conference of the Kelantan MAF Veterans Association at the Kota Bharu Industrial Training Institute in Pengkalan Chepa today.

The Election Commission has set for state elections in Kelantan, Selangor, Kedah, Penang, Terengganu and Negeri Sembilan to be held simultaneously on Aug 12, while early voting is on Aug 8.
