PETALING JAYA: PAS remains steadfast not to dissolve the state assemblies of Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu under its rule, said PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang.
In a statement issued after the PAS Central Working Committee meeting held on Thursday (Oct 13) at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Abdul Hadi said that the party will also finalise seat distribution and further strengthen its cooperation with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia in Perikatan Nasional.
"The PAS CWC meeting has decided to maintain its stand not to dissolve the state assemblies of Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah.
"We have also decided that we will strengthen the cooperation in Perikatan Nasional to face the 15th General Election, on the principle of uniting the ummah (Muslims).
"The discussion on seat distribution in states will be finalised.
"The list of PAS candidates from the states will be vetted through by the Syura Ulama Council," said Abdul Hadi.
PAS had before the dissolution of Parliament stated that it will not dissolve state assemblies under its rule until March 2023 to concentrate on preparations for the floods during the northeast monsoon which will hit the states mid-November and March next year.
However, there have been a few voices for the state assemblies to be dissolved due to state elections being costly to be held on its own and not during general elections.
