Time for PAS to lead with its own PM candidate, says youth leader
PAS Youth delegate from Kedah, Ilyas Ahmad, says the Islamic party was deserving of a leading role in the federal government due to its clean record.
PAS Youth chief Ilyas Ahmad has urged the party to take the lead in uniting Muslims at the federal level. Speaking at a debate, Ahmad stated that PAS should spearhead the ummah's unity, citing its spotless reputation and lack of corruption scandals. Although the PAS vice-president, Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, was previously suggested as a prime ministerial candidate, Bersatu information chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz urged PAS Youth to respect the other component parties within Perikatan Nasional.
In September 2025, PAS election director Sanusi Nor had also cautioned Bersatu against making significant political decisions on behalf of the Perikatan Nasional. Ilyas emphasized that efforts towards Muslim unity must be carried out with utmost care, in accordance with the party's principles rooted in the Quran and Sunnah.
