PAS will not win more than 15 seats, speculates Dr M

Tun you are too generous because will only win seats in the single digits and that will be on the low end and same goes for their buddy UMNO. The Rakyat are more than mad with PAS and UMNO for making life hell for them and their families.

PAS will not win more than 15 seats, speculates Dr M

The party’s decision to turn its back to Pakatan Harapan will only provide Umno and BN a better chance in winning GE14, says the former premier

KUALA LUMPUR: Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad today played down the chances of PAS winning big in the next general election, saying that the party would only win about 15 seats.

Mahathir, now the chairperson of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, said PAS’ decision to turn its back to Pakatan Harapan will only provide Umno and BN a better chance in winning GE14.

He added that based on PAS’ track record, the party would not win more than 15 of the 80 seats it contests in.

“PAS knows they will lose in most of the seats, but they want to contest anyway because of their principles, resulting in three-cornered or multi-cornered fights,” he wrote in his latest blog posting.

He slammed PAS’ attitude of wanting to go alone as it would “drag down Pakatan Harapan”.

“By contesting, PAS will not only lose, but drag down all other opposition parties with them.

“Umno will win because the opposition is broken,” he said.

He also said PAS would spend “an exorbitant amount of money” to grant victory to BN and Prime Minister Najib Razak.

“So it is indeed not extreme to say that PAS under the leadership of Abdul Hadi Awang is supporting Najib. It is true.

“Their insistence on nominating candidates for seats they won’t win, means PAS supports Najib and Umno,” he said.

Mahathir said PAS has done nothing but divide the Malays and Muslim community since its inception.

Pakatan Harapan, of which Mahathir’s PPBM is part of, has been in negotiations with PAS to join the opposition for almost a year now.

PAS has voiced its opposition as it does not want to work with DAP, which is a part of the opposition coalition.
