Umno tak perlu uji ikhlas PAS, Sanusi ulas cadangan PRN Terengganu

PAS chairperson Sanusi Nor has dismissed the idea of Umno voluntarily surrendering any of its Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) seats to PAS before the primary election for the Perikatan Nasional (PN) run in Terengganu. In an interview with Berita Harian, Sanusi Nor stated that PAS does not need to test its loyalty to the Malays, as Umno has not relinquished any DUN seats to PAS in the recent elections of Johor, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka.

Umno's loyalty, at present, is only to mutually exchange votes, not to surrender DUN seats to PAS. Sanusi Nor also urged Umno to inform PAS which of its seats it has already ceded to PAS in Johor, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka. If Umno has not ceded any of its seats to PAS, there is no need to test PAS' loyalty in other states, as Umno's loyalty is currently confined to safeguarding what they possess.

Sanusi Nor also criticized Umno's strategy of targeting Pakatan Harapan (PH) and non-Bernama Nasional (BN) seats in Terengganu. In the 2023 Terengganu PRN, Umno won all 27 seats, while PN secured a landslide 32 seats, with PAS winning 27 seats and Bersatu garnering five seats.
