Accepted Answer

Selangor PAS Will Add More Names to the Mentri Besar Nomination List

Selangor PAS has confirmed its intention to include additional names on the nomination list for the state's Mentri Besar position. This decision follows a decree from the Selangor Sultan requesting more than two candidates from each Pakatan Rakyat party. The final decision on the number of nominees will be determined by the PAS central leadership by September 3.
Adherence to Sultan's Decree

Selangor PAS commissioner Iskandar Abdul Samad stated that the party will comply with the Selangor Sultan's directive to submit more than two candidates. He indicated that PAS would abide by "what Tuanku wants." This implies a shift from an earlier stance or intention to limit the nominations.
Nomination of PKR Assemblymen

PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali previously indicated that the party would nominate two assemblymen from PKR for the Mentri Besar post, likely referring to Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Azmin Ali. He clarified that PAS would not nominate any of its own lawmakers for the position, respecting that the Mentri Besar role belongs to PKR.
Final Decision by Central Leadership

While state-level officials have indicated a willingness to add more names, Iskandar Abdul Samad stressed that the ultimate decision rests with the PAS central leadership. This central body is expected to finalise the matter by September 3, consolidating the party's position on the nomination list.
Defiance of Previous PR Council Decision

PAS had previously insisted on submitting more than one name for the Mentri Besar post, which appeared to defy a Pakatan Rakyat presidential council decision to solely nominate Dr Wan Azizah. This stance was reportedly taken out of respect for the Selangor Sultan’s decree for multiple nominations from each party.
