KOTA BARU – Amanah has described outstation Kelantanese voters as key to determining the next state government in the upcoming state election on August 12.

Amanah vice-president Adly Zahari said based on previous analyses, the people of Kelantan have long rejected the current government, and it is not impossible for the parties under the unity government to be given the mandate to lead the state.

He said the people of Kelantan are longing for a change, considering that the current government is making life difficult for the people, especially with regard to the ongoing water and land issues and job opportunities for the people 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 during 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, who is also deputy minister of defence, spoke to reporters today after opening the 54th State Representatives Conference of the Kelantan MAF Veterans Association at the Kota Baru Industrial Training Institute in Pengkalan Chepa.

The Election Commission has set for state elections in Kelantan, Selangor, Kedah, Penang, Terengganu and Negri Sembilan to be held simultaneously on August 12, while early voting is on August 8. – August 5, 2023
