Kedah Chief Minister Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s decision to withdraw from contesting a PAS vice-president post is seen as a strategic move to retain his influential role as election director ahead of the Sabah state polls and the 16th General Election (GE16). Analysts say Sanusi likely sought to avoid a tough battle against the ulama faction, which dominates the party and is expected to secure the re-election of incumbents Idris Ahmad and Amar Abdullah. His withdrawal ensures both Sanusi and fellow professional faction leader Ahmad Samsuri retain key positions, strengthening their influence within PAS. Analysts say his decision reflects the dominance of the ulama faction over PAS’ “professional” camp, raising concerns about leadership succession and the party’s ability to broaden appeal ahead of GE16.
