MELAKA: Bersatu is aiming to win as many as possible of the seven seats it is contesting in the Melaka election to strengthen its presence as an opposition party in the state assembly.
Its Information chief Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz said the party was also targeting to retain its two existing seats, Sungai Udang and Bemban.
He said a stronger opposition presence in the Melaka State Legislative Assembly was important to ensure effective checks and balances and encourage healthy competition in the state administration.
"If the people give our representatives the opportunity to voice their concerns in the state assembly, they can fulfil the role of providing checks and balances.
