Amanah sets sights on 18 seats for GE16, but concedes it could lose all but one

Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) plans to proactively identify its general election candidates to enhance voter engagement and streamline its preparations for the 16th general election (GE16).

Deputy President Datuk Seri Dr. Mujahid Yusof Rawa emphasized the importance of strengthening the party's machinery and narrative to retain existing seats and target at least 18 parliamentary wins.

He highlighted the urgency of this strategy to maintain grassroots support, warning that without these efforts, Amanah might only retain one seat, that of its president, Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.

Furthermore, reinforcing the "Islam Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin" narrative is integral to Amanah's strategy to appeal to both Muslim and non-Muslim communities.

SUBANG JAYA, Sept 27 — Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) will identify its general election candidates early to allow them to introduce themselves to voters and to enable the party to make more systematic preparations.

The party’s deputy president, Datuk Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa, said this move alongside strengthening the party’s machinery and narrative is crucial for Amanah to retain its existing seats and achieve its target of winning more seats in the 16th general election (GE16).

He said Amanah aims to win at least 18 parliamentary seats in GE16, enabling the party to play a greater role in championing the interests of the ummah (Muslim community).

“GE16 must be viewed as an uphill battle as party members cannot afford to be complacent. Instead, they must redouble efforts to strengthen grassroots support including increasing the number of branches and members and streamline the machinery at the Polling District Centre level,” he said while addressing the launch of Selangor Amanah election machinery here today.

Mujahid warned that Amanah risks retaining only one parliamentary seat in GE16 if it fails to strengthen its machinery and voter support.

He noted that based on the party’s internal studies and simulations under certain scenarios, only the Kota Raja parliamentary seat held by Amanah president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu appears likely to be retained, while other seats would face significant challenges.

Mujahid added that Amanah must also reinforce the Islam Rahmatan Lil ’Alamin (Islam as a Mercy to All Creation) narrative as the core of its struggle, including convincing Malay and Muslim voters that the party is capable of protecting and championing their interests without sidelining the rights of non-Muslim and non-Malay communities.

He said voter support can shift when voters feel that their security, economic future, and family interests are better assured under a particular party.

Additionally, Mujahid urged Amanah’s leadership to pay closer attention to grassroots members to prevent them from leaving the party, including by acknowledging their sacrifices and looking after their welfare. — Bernama

国家诚信党（Amanah）计划主动确定其大选候选人，以增强选民参与度并简化其第16届大选（GE16）的准备工作。

副主席拿督斯里穆加希德·尤索夫·拉瓦博士强调，加强党的机器和宣传至关重要，以保住现有席位，并争取至少赢得 18 个国会席位。

他强调了维持基层支持的这一策略的紧迫性，并警告说，如果没有这些努力，诚信党可能只会保住一个席位，即其主席拿督斯里·穆罕默德·萨布的席位。

此外，强化“Islam Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin”（伊斯兰教对全世界的慈悯）的叙事是 Amanah 吸引穆斯林和非穆斯林社区战略的重要组成部分。

梳邦再也，9月27日讯——国家诚信党（诚信党）将提前确定其大选候选人，以便他们能够向选民介绍自己，并使该党能够进行更系统的准备。

该党副主席拿督斯里穆加希德·尤索夫·拉瓦博士表示，此举以及加强党的机器和叙事对于诚信党保住现有席位并实现其在第16届全国大选（GE16）中赢得更多席位的目标至关重要。

他表示，诚信党的目标是在第16届全国大选中赢得至少18个议会席位，从而使该党能够在维护穆斯林社群利益方面发挥更大的作用。

“第16届全国大选必须被视为一场艰苦的战斗，因为党员们不能掉以轻心。相反，他们必须加倍努力加强基层支持，包括增加支部和党员数量，并精简投票站中心的运作机制，”他今天在雪兰莪诚信党选举机制启动仪式上发表讲话时说道。

穆贾希德警告说，如果诚信党不能加强其组织和选民支持，那么在第16届全国大选中，它有可能只保住一个议会席位。

他指出，根据该党内部研究和对某些情景的模拟，只有诚信党主席拿督斯里莫哈末沙布所持有的哥打拉惹国会议席似乎有可能保住，而其他席位将面临重大挑战。

穆贾希德补充说，诚信党还必须加强“伊斯兰慈悯万物”的叙事，将其作为斗争的核心，包括说服马来人和穆斯林选民，该党有能力保护和捍卫他们的利益，同时又不忽视非穆斯林和非马来人社区的权利。

他表示，当选民感到在某个政党的领导下，他们的安全、经济前景和家庭利益能够得到更好的保障时，选民的支持就会发生转变。

此外，穆加希德敦促诚信党领导层更加关注基层党员，防止他们退党，包括认可他们的付出并照顾他们的福利。——马新社
