PETALING JAYA: Electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0 will initiate a “voters’ supremacy” campaign next month, aimed at “restoring the country’s democratic system”.

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.”
