Among the 56 names unveiled by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for Pakatan Harapan's Johor campaign is Ramli Abd Hamid, the coalition's candidate for the Semarang seat.
Ramli Abd Hamid stands as the Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) candidate within the Pakatan Harapan coalition, which is chaired by Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The coalition brings together PKR, DAP and Amanah in a unified slate fielded across all 56 Johor state constituencies.
Semarang is one of the 56 state constituencies on the ballot this election. The outcome here will contribute to the overall balance of power in the Johor State Legislative Assembly.
As an Amanah candidate, Ramli Abd Hamid champions Pakatan Harapan's agenda of progressive, inclusive and ethical governance rooted in the Malaysia Madani vision. Amanah is contesting 19 of the coalition's 56 Johor seats.
Pakatan Harapan's selection process for the Johor election was rigorous, with the coalition evaluating more than 1,000 potential candidates before finalising its 56 names. The slate blends established leaders, professionals and fresh faces, reflecting the coalition's bid to present a credible, governing-ready team to Johor voters.
With Nomination Day on June 27 and polling on July 11, 2026, the campaign in Semarang is now underway. The result will be one piece of a high-stakes contest watched closely across Malaysia.
