  "account": "The PAS Lahar Yooi chapter has demanded that their party contest the Tasek Gelugor parliamentary seat, currently held by PAS Vice President and Wawasan member, Wan Saiful Wan Jan. The chapter spokesperson has stated that they will shut down their office and boycott the 2016 general election if the seat is not won by a PAS candidate. This stance is firm and unyielding, given that all other parties have represented Tasek Gelugor except for PAS, which now has the opportunity to hold the seat. In a Facebook post, the chapter spokesperson mentioned that PAS Lahar Yooi will close their office if a non-PAS candidate contests the Tasek Gelugor seat in the upcoming Parlimen Tasek Gelugor. Currently, DUN Sungai Dua is represented by Fauzi Yusoff, who is also a PAS Pulau Pinang lobbyist. In the 2015 general election, Perikatan Nasional candidate Wan Saiful Wan Jan won Tasek Gelugor with a lead of 12,252 votes, while he was then affiliated with Bersatu. Today, Wan Saiful is a Wawasan member, one of the components of Perikatan Nasional that includes PAS.",
