PAS is targeting to make the coming Kuala Besut state by-election historic by winning it, resulting in a hung state assembly with each Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat having 16 seats.<\/p>\n
Terengganu PAS’ director for Kuala Besut By Election Satiful Bahri Mamat said the state would score a first in history to have a hung state assembly if PAS wins the seat which it lost to BN last May.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the people want to see history being made and what would happen in its aftermath, they have to support PAS. If they support BN, nothing will happen.<\/p>\n
“We hope Kuala Besut will deliver 16-16,\u201d quoted Satiful to media<\/p>\n
The Kuala Besut state seat became vacant after the death of BN’s Dr Abdul Rahman Mokhtar last week. The BN now has 16 seats while PR has 15. A win by PR in Kuala Besut would result in a hung state assembly and likely to resurrect debate on the role and power of the Sultan in the country’s governance.<\/p>\n
Satiful noted that the scenario had fuelled many speculations, including the possibility of giving birth to a unity government, which the Islamic party has strongly rejected.<\/p>\n
\u201cPAS won in 1959, 1969, 1974 when PAS was with BN, and in 1999. So, PAS had won four times there, hence the party\u2019s strength cannot be denied,\u201d added Satiful.<\/p>\n
Satiful said PAS would also continue to use the 13th general election\u2019s manifesto to campaign in Kuala Besut in view of the possibility of change of state government.<\/p>\n
PAS has filed two election petitions challenging BN’s victories in Hulu Besut and Kuala Berang state seats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
