Parti Amanah Negara can forget about replacing PAS in the Selangor government administration, said Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad.
Whatever the outcome of the Sungai Besar parliamentary by-election on June 18, PAS would remain in the state government and continue to hold posts in the state executive council, he said.
"Amanah must remember that it was PAS, DAP and PKR which formed the state government after the 13th general election, before the existence of Amanah," he told reporters here today. Amanah is a splinter party of PAS.
Iskandar was replying to speculation that PAS state executive councillors in the Selangor government would have to be replaced by Amanah representatives if Pakatan Harapan garners more votes than PAS in the by-election.
With Iskandar at the press conference were PAS deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and the PAS candidate for the by-election, Meru assemblyman Dr Abdul Rani Osman.
Abdul Rani is involved in a three-cornered contest among Sungai Panjang assemblyman Budiman Mohd Zohdi of Barisan Nasional and Sungai Besar Amanah chairman Azhar Abdul Shukur in the by-election.
The by-election is being held following the death of the MP, Deputy Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Tan Sri Noriah Kasnon, in a helicopter crash in Sarawak on May 5.
PAS has three representatives in the Selangor state executive council, they being Iskandar himself, who is housing, building management and urban living committee chairman; Selangor PAS deputy commissioner Datuk Dr Ahmad Yunus Hairi (Islamic religious affairs, Malay customs and heritage, and rural and traditional village development committee chairman) and Zaidy Abdul Talib (infrastructure, public amenities and agriculture modernisation and agro-based industry committee chairman).
