Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin - BERNAMA FILE PIX

Hamzah’s (right) appointment as Opposition Leader was Pas’ choice, not selected by Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin, as claimed by some parties.

While Dr Sam had a professional and technocratic image, Pas’ Islamic narrative could limit support among non-Malay and urban voters.

The recent meeting between Muhyiddin (third from left) and Abdul Hadi (second from left), accompanied by Pas and Bersatu leaders, was supposed to serve as a catalyst to resolve the polemic over the vacancy of the PN Chairman post that has dragged on for nearly a month

Muhyiddin in a letter that was leaked to the public claimed that Bersatu and Pas had agreed to abolish the PN chairman’s post as part of the opposition coalition’s restructuring during a meeting between him and leaders from the Islamic party on Jan 16. - Bernama file photo

Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang said the party will continue to lead Perikatan Nasional (PN) following Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s resignation as chairman of the coalition on Jan 1. Bernama FILE PIX
