Asked whether Pas would be facing difficulties in the next general election because Pas members were leaving to join Parti Amanah Negara (PAN), Hadi said it would not be the case as only less than one percent (of its members) had joined the splinter party.

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who quit UMNO recently, teamed up with opposition figures and civil society leaders in coming up with the "Mahathir Declaration" in trying to oust Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
