PAS targeting five states in next GE

ALOR STAR: PAS is targeting five states in the next general election, said its deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man ( pix).

He said the five states are Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Selangor.

He also said the Islamist party is ready to lead Selangor if the result in the next general election is in its favour.

“Right now, we are actually in the lead with 15 seats, while PKR has only 13. But we gave way to PKR to lead,” he told a press conference after officiating at the PAS Youth muktamar yesterday.

He said the party will not work with DAP and Amanah to form the next Selangor government even if PAS was in a position to help either of them.

Tuan Ibrahim said PAS was still cooperating with PKR but it could change if the syura council decided to sever ties with PKR.

“We will decide on the next move should relations with PKR end,” he said.

He also urged other opposition parties not to contest the seats the party held in Selangor and other states as PAS has a strong support base.
