Ada pemimpin layak tapi belum tiba masa PAS umum calon PM, kata Syahir

Penolong setiausaha agung PAS berkata parti itu mempunyai barisan pemimpin yang boleh diketengahkan apabila tiba masanya.

Ada pemimpin layak tapi belum tiba masa PAS umum calon PM, kata Syahir

PAS leader Syahir Che Sulaiman claims the party's lack of announcement for a Prime Minister candidate does not indicate a lack of suitable candidates, but rather a waiting time for the right moment. The Petaling Jaya resident pointed out that PAS has a lineup of leaders from the parliamentary and state levels, including members in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Furthermore, all these potential leaders were chosen based on their qualifications and ability to serve, rather than them asking for the position. PAS President Hadi Awang may already have a name in mind for the Prime Minister candidate, but the timing simply has not arrived. Syahir also cited a report from FMT quoting analyst Syaza Shukri from Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia, who suggested that PAS's hesitance to name a Prime Minister candidate may show that they are not entirely confident about choosing Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar as the main contender to lead Putrajaya.

Both Samsuri and Hadi Awang are the vice president and chairman of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) party, respectively.
