The announcement was made by the PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang in a press conference at the PAS headquarters today.

The party’s youth chief Nasruddin Hassan will be contesting in the Temerloh parliamentary, currently held by deputy minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.

Former army religious corp director, Brigadier-General (Rtd) Datuk Najmi Ahmad will contest in the Baling parliamentary seat in Kedah.

Najmi, who is the brother to ex-PAS vice president Datuk Mohd Nakhaie Ahmad, also officially announced that he was joining PAS today.

Najmi was to replace the former Member of Parliament in Baling, Datuk Taib Azamudden Md Taib, from PAS who will be withdrawing from taking part in the polls due to health reasons.
