The group’s steering committee said the campaign will last from Sept 15 until the 15th general election (GE15) is called. The last general election or GE14 was held in May 2018.

In a statement, Bersih said it was making six demands – don’t suppress votes, stop party hopping, make Parliament work, right for people to dissent, no double standards, and give ratepayers a voice – which all political parties need to support and adopt.

“We assert that the Sheraton Move and the subsequent political chaos have sidelined the interest of the people and eroded our parliamentary democracy.

“Politicians continue to grab for power while the public struggles under the lockdown to stay safe from Covid-19 and provide for themselves and their families.”

Under the campaign, Bersih will be running a series of programmes on various social media platforms and on news portals with the theme and hashtag #KetuananPengundi.

“We hope this can generate public support and push political parties to adopt in their election manifesto key reforms that would strengthen the rights of voters and democracy,” it said.
