KUALA LUMPUR: The positions of PAS president, deputy president and three vice-presidents will not be contested in the party’s elections next month.

PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said there have been no new nominations for the top five posts, and elections will only be held for its central committee.

“Only the current president and deputy president have been nominated, so they will retain their positions,” Takiyuddin told a press conference at the party’s headquarters today.

“Four nominations for the three vice-president’s posts were received. The Kedah menteri besar (Sanusi Nor) was nominated, but he withdrew. So, there is no competition, and the vice-presidential lineup will be retained.”

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man were also unchallenged in party elections in Terengganu two years ago.
