ALOR SETAR, Sept 27\u00a0— PAS elections director Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has rejected nominations to contest the PAS vice-president post at the party\u2019s 69th\u00a0Muktamar next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muhammad Sanusi, who is also Kedah Menteri Besar, said he was not yet ready for the vice-presidency and would rather be a PAS Central Committee member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know my level and quality; different qualifications are needed for different roles. That is why I\u2019m the Menteri Besar but the state PAS commissioner post is held by another person,\u201d he told a press conference after chairing the state Exco meeting here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muhammad Sanusi said this when asked to comment on nominations for him to contest the vice-president post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On another matter, he said PAS respected the Election Court\u2019s decision to annul the victory of Perikatan Nasional candidate Che Alias Hamid in the Kemaman parliamentary seat in the 15th general election (GE15).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the\u00a0PAS leadership was discussing with its lawyers whether to make an appeal or to just go for a\u00a0by-election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court recently made the ruling following a petition filed by Terengganu UMNO on Jan 3 alleging that PAS had bribed voters by distributing cash aid given by the state government several days before GE15 was held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
