MELAKA, Nov 8 – PKR leader Adam Adli Abd Halim has urged young voters to make informed decisions in the upcoming Melaka state election.
He reminded them to rely on facts rather than emotions or political hatred when choosing their representatives.
Adam Adli, the acting chairman of the Melaka PKR State Leadership Council, said young voters could play a major role in shaping the state’s future.
Voters aged between 18 and 39 make up 47.34 per cent of Melaka’s 687,697 registered voters.
He said this group has a strong influence on the state’s political direction. Therefore, they should choose leaders who demonstrate integrity and responsibility.
Young Voters Have a Strong Voice
Adam Adli believes young people bring fresh energy and courage to the democratic process.
He said voters should consider both facts and their personal values when making decisions.
However, he warned against allowing hatred to influence their choices.
He also expressed confidence in Melaka’s future. He pointed to the active involvement of younger Malaysians in the democratic process.
PKR Introduces Seven New Candidates
Adam Adli also explained PKR’s approach to selecting candidates for the state election.
The party has introduced seven new faces among the 10 seats it will contest.
He said PKR assessed each candidate carefully. The party considered their suitability for the constituency and their support among local communities.
The selection process also aims to create opportunities for younger leaders.
One example is Kelebang candidate Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir.
She previously contested in Sungai Rambai. However, she will now contest in Kelebang, where she grew up and has built stronger connections with the local community.
PKR Targets Stronger Support Across Melaka
PKR hopes to win several targeted seats in the coming election.
At the same time, the party wants to increase its vote share in every constituency it contests.
Adam Adli said the party had noticed a more positive voter trend compared with the 2021 Melaka state election.
That election recorded a voter turnout of 65.85 per cent.
He said PKR would continue building support, even in constituencies where the party does not have a strong political base.
For him, every increase in voter support represents progress towards future victories.
Melaka Election Dates
The Election Commission has set Nov 14 as polling day for the 16th Melaka state election.
Meanwhile, early voting will take place on Nov 10.
With young voters making up nearly half of the electorate, their participation could play an important role in determining the state’s political future.
