PAS deputy secretary-general Syahir Sulaiman said the party has potential candidates at parliamentary and state levels, including members of its central committee, aged in their 40s to 60s.

The lineup showed that PAS has leaders capable of taking on the country’s top government post, said Syahir, who is MP for Bachok.

He added that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang might already have someone in mind for a prime minister candidate.
