KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Umno chief Hasni Mohammad says he recently warned PAS that it would lose all the seats it plans to contest in Johor if it stood under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) banner.
Hasni, who is also Johor menteri besar, said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and his deputy Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man visited him and the talk that PN was planning to let PAS contest 15 seats in the state came up.
“I told them honestly: YBs, you will lose every seat, as you did in previous years. In 2018, despite Barisan Nasional facing so many challenges, PAS only won one seat. We won 19.
“But I also gave my assurance to them that if they’re with us, though they won’t get as many seats (to contest in), we can ensure that PAS will win all the seats it contests,” he told Umno delegates at its general assembly today.
