PAS aims to contest 80 parliamentary seats in the upcoming general elections, said its central election director Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor. 

Sanusi, who is also the Menteri Besar of Kedah, said the number was double compared with 40 seats contested in the last general elections and that PAS was analysing the constituencies that achieved key performance index (KPI) targets to be in the list of 80 parliamentary seats. 

“Any constituency that does not achieve the KPI will be dropped and replaced by another that is found to have improved performance, both in terms of machinery preparation and other requirements, to face the election,” he said. 

He said this when winding up the debate on the president’s policy speech at the 68th PAS Annual Meeting at the Kedah PAS Complex today. 

The Jeneri assemblyman also said that PAS was targeting a win of 40 parliamentary seats in order to form the federal government. 

“Imagine when (PAS) has 40 seats, it will be a milestone in PAS’ long journey, starting from 2020 to 2050…we will be able to witness a PM from PAS,” he said. 

At a media conference, Sanusi said that the PAS election machinery had prepared to face the upcoming elections and was currently 99% ready. It was also focusing on seats it could win. – Bernama, September 4, 2022.
