The 59th PAS muktamar will see a five-way fight for the three vice-president posts, with incumbents Salahuddin Ayub, Datuk Husam Musa and Datuk Mahfuz Omar defending their posts against information chief Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and central working committee member Datuk Abu Bakar Chik.<\/p>\n
The polls, on Nov 21-22, will also see deputy president Mohamad Sabu facing Kelantan deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah.<\/p>\n
Husam and Tuan Ibrahim received the highest number of nominations for deputy presidents but both pulled out, deciding instead to compete in the VP race.<\/p>\n
PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, meanwhile, retained his post uncontested when nominations closed on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The contest for the Youth chief\u2019s post will be a three-cornered fight among Youth exco member Suhaizan Kaiat, Federal Territory youth chief Kamarulzaman Mohamad and lawyer Zulhazmi Sharif.<\/p>\n
The top posts in PAS Dewan Ulama remained unchanged with chief Datuk Harun Taib, deputy chief Datuk Ahmad Yakob, who is also Kelantan Mentri Besar, and vice-president Datuk Dr Mahfodz Mohamad keeping their seats.<\/p>\n
There were not enough nominations for the posts of auditor and deputy permanent chairman. Datuk Abu Kassim Abdullah remains the permanent chairman.<\/p>\n
PAS election committee chairman Asmuni Awi said the vacancies would be filled during the muktamar, as required by the party\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n
He urged all candidates to campaign \u201cin a healthy manner\u201d without attacking rivals or abusing official functions to promote candidates.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny candidate seen putting down another to make himself look better will be referred to the disciplinary board,\u201d he warned after announcing the final candidature list at the PAS headquarters here yesterday.<\/p>\n
He said any winning candidate proven to have campaigned unethically would be dropped.<\/p>\n
The final candidate list has 61 people competing for central committee seats.<\/p>\n
However, Asmuni said, the list would be subjected to checks with the Malaysian Department of Insolvency to ensure they are all eligible.<\/p>\n
