PETALING JAYA: PAS is ready to contest in the Johor state elections, if the state assembly is dissolved soon, said party president Abdul Hadi Awang.
According to him, PAS considers the speculation on the state election as a rumour and has not discussed the political unrest in Johor.
“PAS will contest. We contested in the Sarawak state elections, why not Johor which is nearer. But about how we will contest, we will consider from time to time” he said, according to Sinar Harian.
Rumours of early state elections started circulating shortly after the death of Kempas assemblyman Osman Sapian of Perikatan Nasional on Dec 21.
The Johor state government, comprising Barisan Nasional and PN, has a one-seat majority in the state assembly, with 28 seats to opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan’s 27.
