PRN bukan PRU, Tuan Ibrahim jawab Puad
Timbalan presiden PAS itu tepis dakwaan Puad Zarkashi yang persoal pendiriannya menolak PRN Terengganu lebih awal.
PAS Vice-President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man clarified to FMT that the PRN in Terengganu and the 2016 General Election (PRU16) are two distinct matters, in response to Puad Zarkashi's accusation that PAS is inconsistent in its stance on early elections. Tuan Ibrahim emphasized that opposing Umno, Pahang, and Selangor from forming the state government is what PRU16 is about, rather than the PRN in Terengganu.
He also questioned Tuan Ibrahim's earlier support for holding the PRN early, but his recent rejection of the idea of dissolving the Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) in Terengganu earlier. Tuan Ibrahim had previously argued that there was no need for a PRN in Terengganu as the state government was stable and dissolving the DUN would only burden the people with additional costs and political pressure.
The proposal for a PRN in Terengganu was made by Umno's Deputy President Mohamad Hasan as a test of PAS's sincerity in uniting Malays and proving the commitment of both parties to political cooperation, which he believed could serve as a model for PAS-Umno cooperation ahead of PRU16. During the last PRN in Terengganu, Umno failed to win any seats out of the 32 DUN seats contested.
The party also performed poorly in all eight parliamentary seats in the state during the 2015 General Election.
