Pas confirms it sent three names for Selangor MB candidate

(NST) – Pas secretary general Datuk Mustafa Ali today confirmed the party submitted three names, including one of its own assemblymen, for the Selangor Menteri Besar position.

According to BH Online, Mustafa said the decision to name three candidates was in accordance to the Sultan’s request.

The names were delivered to the palace yesterday, he added.

Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah had requested PKR, DAP and Pas to submit “more than two names” for the Menteri Besar post by Sept 3 (yesterday).

PKR and DAP had maintained their stance that they would only submit one name, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Several Pas leaders had earlier stressed that they would not nominate one of their own party members for the post and will only give that honour to PKR.
