The Selangor palace has rejected the proposal for PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to become the state menteri besar, according to what PAS has "heard".
In view of this, PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali urged PKR to name a new candidate for the post.
Speaking to Sin Chew Daily, Mustafa said PAS "heard" that the Selangor ruler refused to accept Wan Azizah as menteri besar.
However, he added, the rejection was not related to gender, drawing a comparison to what happened in Perak and Terengganu in the past.
Mustafa also said PAS would not compete with PKR for the post of Selangor menteri besar post despite having more state assembly seats because it has been decided by the Pakatan Rakyat coalition.
The report also said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang had spoken to PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim about the suggestion of changing the MB candidate during their meeting in Terengganu.
However, Mustafa was tightlipped on the details of the meeting between Hadi and Anwar.
He said what transpired at the meeting would be revealed on Aug 17, when the PAS central committee meets for a final decision on the imbroglio in Selangor.
Mustafa added that PAS would support current menteri besar Khalid Ibrahim as no instruction to the contrary had been issued by Hadi.
Despite PKR and DAP calling for Khalid's ouster, PAS continues to take a different stand and this has prompted speculation that Pakatan might break up.
