GE14: Kedah PAS Intends To Go For All Seats
ALOR SETAR, July 15 (Bernama) -- Kedah PAS today announced that it intends to contest all 36 state and 15 parliamentary seats in the state in the 14th General Election (GE14).
Kedah PAS commissioner Dr Ahmad Fakhruddin Syeikh Fakhrurazi said this was in order because it was no longer allied with its former partners in the opposition Pakatan Rakyat pact (DAP and PKR).
"However, the final decision lies with PAS's central leadership based on a study currently being conducted taking into consideration PAS's new ally in Gagasan Sejahtera bloc (PAS and Parti Ikatan Bangsa Malaysia)," he told reporters at Kedah PAS's Aidilfitri open house here today.
He also said that Kedah PAS will follow the progress on the public caning move introduced by the PAS-led Kelantan for syariah offences before deciding whether they should incorporate the same in their manifesto for GE14.
In GE13, Kedah PAS contested 24 state and eight parliamentary seats and won nine and one respectively.
GE14 has to be called by August next year.
