PAS, PN election machinery focussing on 126 potential parliamentary seats
PN information chief Annuar Musa says the decision on which seats PAS would contest would be left to the party’s top leadership.
The 126 parliamentary seats targeted by PAS and Perikatan Nasional (PN) for the upcoming general election (GE16) are located in regions with strong potential, excluding those in Sarawak, as stated by PN information chief Annuar Musa in a Facebook post, according to Bernama. While PAS may not contest all 126 seats, the party's leadership will decide which ones to take up.
PN secured 74 parliamentary seats in the last general election (GE15), with PAS winning 43 of them. PAS has set a goal of winning at least 80 parliamentary seats in GE16, aiming to return to Putrajaya. In September last year, PAS vice-president Amar Abdullah mentioned this objective, noting that the party had previously targeted at least 40 seats before GE15, ultimately securing 43 out of 222 seats in the Dewan Rakyat.
The current term of the federal government concludes in December 2027, after which GE16 must be called within 60 days.
