Now, we are awaiting the evaluation results, which should be known soon," Muhammad Kamil stated after officiating an academic excellence award ceremony. He indicated that AMK is focused on presenting candidates who are not only young but also possess the necessary qualifications and capabilities to represent the party's aspirations.

AMK is particularly keen on securing more opportunities for its candidates, citing demographic data that suggests a substantial portion of voters in these state elections will be under the age of 45. "We are placing high hopes that more opportunities will be given to candidates from our wing, considering that about 50 to 55 percent of voters in the upcoming state elections will be aged 45 and below," Muhammad Kamil explained.
