  "account": "Selangor PAS Youth chief Suffi Kamari has outlined ten compelling reasons for the National Front (PN) coalition to allow the Islamic party to lead in the state of Selangor. Speaking to reporters, Kamari stressed that the political climate has shifted and PN cannot continue using outdated methods to secure victory at the next general election.\n\nKamari highlighted PAS's extensive grassroots network, which operates continuously at local and national levels, rather than just during election periods. He also noted that the current political landscape requires more aggressive and fresh leadership for PN to succeed.\n\nCurrently, the position of Selangor PN chief is vacant following the resignation of Azmin Ali in January. Kamari argued that a PAS candidate should fill this role, as the party has experienced leaders with diverse backgrounds in administration, politics, organization, and grassroots mobilization.\n\nFurthermore, Kamari emphasized that PAS is prepared to assume responsibility beyond merely seeking positions. He stated that the party is not content with merely being in opposition and aims to build its strength, gain public confidence, and ultimately present Selangor with a new government. He underscored that this is about the forthcoming general election and the future direction of PN.\n\nKamari also asserted that PAS is ready to serve as a government-in-waiting, equipped with policies, a capable team, and solutions to take over state administration should it be given the mandate by the people. He made these remarks after PAS delegate Sukri Omar called for PAS to assume leadership of Selangor PN during a debate on the party's president's policy speech at the party's general assembly in Kota Bharu.\n\nSukri emphasized that PAS possesses a team of professionals and religious leaders prepared to take over Selangor's administration, citing the party's readiness for change. In April, Bersatu had proposed that Azmin Ali, the former Selangor menteri besar (2014-2018), be re-appointed as the state PN chief. However, Azmin resigned from this position on January 1 following Muhyiddin Yassin's decision to step down as PN chairman.",
