KUALA LUMPUR - Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) has announced that it will contest the 2026 Johor state election.
In a statement today, Bersama said the decision was finalised following a series of discussions involving the party leadership and selected members from across the country.
"The 2026 Johor state election provides an opportunity to introduce Bersama to Johor voters, even though the party is less than a month old since its relaunch on May 17," the statement said.
Bersama said its participation in the Johor polls is to enable the party to build its election machinery within a short period, while testing its effectiveness and identifying weaknesses as part of preparations for future elections.
In line with that objective, a nationwide roadshow dubbed "Jelajah Kancil” will be held in several states, beginning in Johor this Saturday.
The Johor State Legislative Assembly was dissolved last Monday, paving the way for the state election to be held within 60 days. - BERNAMA
