PETALING JAYA:
“Holding elections at different times will be problematic. funding for elections has already been budgeted, it is the public who will bear the burden of the extra costs, which could amount to an additional RM1 billion. Azmi said this will put PAS in a better position to defend Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah, adding that the party was trying to delay the elections as long as possible because it is not in a very strong position even in those states.He said the party fears it could lose control of the three states as Bersatu will not be of much help in any of them.
However, Azmi said there is a possibility the ploy to hold separate federal and state elections could backfire on PAS and PH. He said the party has two main worries – criticism of its leaders’ failure at the federal level and the possibility it could lose parliamentary seats if GE15 is held at the same time as state polls.
“It is unlikely that PAS would lose Kelantan but it may lose seats to BN. Therefore, holding separate elections would help the party defend the three states from a better position. PH is also in a similar position.”
