KUALA LUMPUR: PAS, which has previously been adamant about contesting in Kubang Pasu, is softening its stand and has agreed that “the Prime Minister's seat” should remain open for the opposition to choose the most suitable candidate for it.
This will pave the way for its allies Parti Keadilan Nasional and Parti Rakyat Malaysia to also offer their choice for the seat, expected to be vacated by Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad who had said he was retiring from politics later this year.
