Early Kelantan polls unnecessary to prove Pas' sincerity, says deputy MB
KOTA BHARU: Kelantan believes there is no need for the state to hold an early state election merely to prove Pas’ sincerity towards Umno.
KOTA BHARU - Kelantan's Deputy Chief Minister, Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan, asserts that the state does not require an early election to demonstrate the party's dedication to Umno. He clarifies that the recent polls in Johor and Negri Sembilan have already proven the sincerity of the alliance. Dr Fadzli adds that the Kelantan administration remains stable and there is no justification for a premature vote.
He reiterates that the cooperation between Umno and Pas, as evidenced by these two states' successful electoral outcomes, suffices as evidence of the parties' commitment to working together. At the upcoming Umno General Assembly in 2026, Deputy President Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has suggested that Terengganu, one of the SG4 states, should hold a poll to gauge the sincerity of prospective partners in fostering cooperation.
SG4, or State Government 4, is an alliance consisting of Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, and Terengganu, all governed by the Perikatan Nasional coalition.
