PAS is counting on Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s popularity to win votes in the coming state election.
Several PAS leaders have indicated to Malaysiakini that Sanusi (above) will be Perikatan Nasional’s poster boy to defend the PAS-led administration in the state.
“The menteri besar will be the poster boy for PAS as well as PN to defend the Kedah state government.
“So far, there is no other leader, only him,” said one central PAS leader who declined to be named.
Another central PAS leader also made the same statement.
“Sanusi will be our poster boy,” he replied briefly to Malaysiakini.
Last Saturday, PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man announced that Sanusi has been appointed as the PN election director for the six state elections expected to take place by August.
Sanusi, who was also present at the programme with Tuan Ibrahim in Ampang last Saturday, revealed that the candidates for menteri besar or chief minister would be highlighted as the PN’s ‘poster boys’.
He said the coalition will have a poster boy or menteri besar candidate for each state that is up for election.
The coming state elections will involve Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Penang.
Meanwhile, Kedah PAS secretary Musoddak Ahmad confirmed that Sanusi will be PN’s poster boy in Kedah.
“So far, that's how it is,” he told Malaysiakini yesterday.
“The performance of the menteri besar’s leadership and support from the people qualify him to be appointed as the poster boy,” he added. - Mkini
