PAS has finally backed down from contesting the Kota Damansara state seat after almost a week of posturing and negotiations with PKR and Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM).
"After negotiations, I am announcing that for the Kota Damansara state seat, we shall revert to the status quo as before nomination day.
“The seat is allocated to PKR," said PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali at party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
As such, he said, the candidate contesting under the PKR banner will be the official Pakatan Rakyat representative.
Incumbeet rep PSM chief Mohd Nasir Hashim had earlier reached an agreement to contest the seat under the PKR ticket, until PAS sprang a last minute surprise by fielding its own candidate Razali Ismail on nomination day.
