Parti Bersama Malaysia co-founder Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli says the subdued campaign atmosphere in the Melaka state election has made it difficult to assess voter sentiment ahead of Saturday’s polls.

MELAKA: The subdued atmosphere surrounding the Melaka state election has made it difficult to gauge voters’ political preferences, with Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) co-founder Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli acknowledging that many appear reluctant to reveal their intentions ahead of Saturday’s polling.

He said campaigning in Melaka appeared noticeably quieter than during the Johor state election, with fewer large-scale programmes and less visible enthusiasm among voters.

“The campaign in Melaka has been quieter compared with Johor. There have not been many large-scale programmes, and I think this applies to all parties,” he told a press conference in Batu Berendam on Thursday.
