He said Pas had already launched its election machinery in Johor and was actively preparing in several targeted parliamentary and state constituencies.
“Pas is ready to contest in Johor… preparations at targeted state seat levels are progressing actively,” he said.
Tuan Ibrahim, who is also Perikatan Nasional deputy chairman, said party preparations were also gaining momentum in Negri Sembilan, where groundwork at various levels is being intensified.
