Now that the political cooperation between Umno and PAS has been formalised, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang indicated that the Islamist party may bring Umno on board their Kelantan and Terengganu governments.
Umno, which governs Perlis and Pahang with Barisan Nasional, has yet to say if it will reciprocate.
However, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said other issues such as electoral seat negotiations are still up in the air.
“That will have to wait till we come to it, we will see the future development.
“There are definitely plans, (Umno) is in our family,” Hadi said during a press conference after Umno and PAS signed the joint charter at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) today.
He was responding to a question from a reporter on whether PAS planned to include Umno in their Kelantan and Terengganu governments now that their cooperation has been formalised.
Meanwhile, Zahid said it is “premature” to talk about electoral seat negotiations at this point of their cooperation.
“It is too early, it is premature for us to discuss the details (of electoral seat negotiations),” he said.
Hadi added that it is important that they work together to attract the rakyat first.
