MELAKA: Bersama is targeting up to 15 per cent of the votes across the 16 seats it is contesting in the Melaka election, an improvement on the three to six per cent it secured when it "tried its luck" in Johor last July.
Bersama leader Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli said it was vital for the party's candidates to achieve the 15 per cent target to place Bersama on an equal footing with other political parties.
"I believe we will achieve a better result... based on everyone's campaigning, I think we will be able to increase the percentage of votes, with a target of 15 per cent.
"This is because 15 per cent will put Bersama's strength on equal footing with these established parties. If you take each component party of Pakatan Harapan (PH) separately, their individual strength is around 15 per cent as well.
