PAS election director Sanusi Nor has declared the party will no longer concede seats they are confident of winning to other political allies. This marks a shift in strategy for the Islamist party, indicating a more assertive approach in upcoming elections. Nor emphasized that PAS members should focus their campaign efforts on supporting the party’s own candidates, rather than laying the groundwork for potential candidates from other parties. The statement suggests potential friction within the ruling coalition regarding seat distribution. This move is likely aimed at maximizing PAS’s representation and influence. It signals a determination to directly reap the rewards of their grassroots work and electoral potential. Analysts suggest this could reshape the dynamics of political negotiations as elections approach.
