Sg Bakap polls: Government targets 65% voter turnout in by-election, says Rafizi


NIBONG TEBAL: With six days left before polling day for the Sungai Bakap state by-election on July 6, the Unity Government's machinery is working hard to motivate voters to turn out, aiming for a voter turnout of at least 65%.

PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli, while hoping for at least 65% voter turnout compared to several previous by-elections, including the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election in Selangor on May 11, which recorded nearly 63%, prefers the figure to be much higher this time.
