GE15: PAS could control five states after polls, says Sanusi

ALOR STAR – PAS has expressed optimism that it could govern up to five states in the general election on November 19.

Its elections director Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said that besides the three states it currently governs – Kelantan, Terengganu, and Kedah – PAS may perform well enough to name menteri besars for Pahang and Perlis.

Kelantan, Terengganu, and Kedah will likely have their respective state elections next year while Pahang and Perlis have already disbanded their state assemblies in line with the dissolution of Parliament last month.

In Pahang, under the stewardship of party deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, the party is contesting 24 out of the 42 state seats and – based on the present assessment – Sanusi said Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) campaign was gaining momentum.
