PARTI Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) is making the Johor State Election (PRN) an initial platform to assess the level of support for the party, which was established just a month ago.
Its leader, Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, said the results of the PRN will be a benchmark in assessing voter acceptance of Bersama, including among the Malay, Chinese and Indian communities.
According to him, the party has its own support target, which is used to measure the strength and potential of the new political movement in the future.
Rafizi insisted that the Johor PRN is an ongoing process to introduce Bersama to voters.
At the same time, Rafizi explained that whatever the results of the Johor PRN are, they will not change the direction and strategy of Bersama, which will continue to operate solo.
"The people also understand that it is quite impossible for a party that was established just a month ago to defeat big parties such as Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan.
"So, it will not change our strategy to continue operating solo until the next election, even if possible for the long term," Rafizi told reporters after the Jelajah Kancil program last night.
He also revealed that more than 70 individuals have offered to be the party's candidates in Johor.
The announcement of the number of seats that Bersama will contest is expected to be made officially today, while the introduction of candidates is scheduled to take place on Friday. – June 22, 2026
