Bekas ketua penerangan Umno berkata PAS dilihat mahu mengambil masa meyakinkan rakyat bahawa parti itu bersedia untuk memerintah.

PAS ambil masa 5-10 tahun lagi tawan pengundi, kata Shahril

Former Umno spokesperson Shahril Hamdan has stated that PAS is willing to wait five to ten years before assuming the top leadership position in the country. Speaking on the Keluar Sekejap radio program, Shahril explained that PAS and Umno are moving at different paces, with Umno focused on winning power now, while PAS appears more ready to wait.

He added that PAS may be ready to join the government without demanding a number one position, instead using the opportunity to provide more experience to its leaders and familiarize the public with their faces and image within a government. Shahril emphasized that this familiarity with the party's presence in government is more important than having a number one position.

He also noted that PAS, aware of the prejudice against it, will gradually change this perception over several electoral cycles, potentially taking five to ten years.
