PAS continues to snub Anwar Ibrahim by rejecting his plea and insisting that it will submit two names to the Selangor palace for the menteri besar post.
Speaking to Malaysiakini, PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali said the Islamic party will abide by the ruler's decree.
"We must not be seen to be forcing the palace (by submitting one name)," he added.
Furthermore, he said by nominating PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, PAS is displaying sufficient respect to its Pakatan Rakyat ally.
This afternoon, Anwar pleaded with PAS to adhere to the Aug 17 Pakatan council's decision to only propose Wan Azizah for the post.
On Tuesday, the sultan requested Pakatan parties to submit "two or more names", with the deadline set for next Wednesday.
However, PKR and DAP, citing convention, disclosed that only Wan Azizah's name will be submitted.
PAS' contradicting stands on the Selangor crisis has strained ties with its allies, with Selangor DAP leaders even mulling on the need for the opposition bloc’s continued existence.
