Anwar on Friday called on voters in Negeri Sembilan to give PH a fresh mandate in the 16th state election to continue governing the state.
“With that mandate, Tok Min (Aminuddin) can be reappointed as menteri besar (chief minister),” news agency Bernama quoted him as saying.
Aminuddin is also a vice-president in Anwar’s Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).
Also present at the PH campaign launch on Friday were PH deputy chairman Anthony Loke, PH secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil, as well as other senior coalition leaders.
Anwar also stressed that his administration is focused on improving the welfare of the people.
“To be able to do this, we need (political) stability, not make plans to destablise the government or attempt backdoor governments,” he said.
“I am not interested in hostility. On my right are UMNO leaders, including the deputy prime minister (Ahmad Zahid Hamidi), who is UMNO president. We continue to work together as usual because we care about the people.”
In the coming Negeri Sembilan polls, PH will contest all 36 seats – 16 by PKR, followed by 11 seats by the Democratic Action Party and nine by Amanah.
In the last state polls on Aug 12, 2023, PH and BN joined hands to win 31 out of the 36 seats.
Zahid said on Jun 9 that BN has no choice but to go solo in the upcoming Negeri Sembilan polls after PH announced its intention to contest all 36 state seats.
