Hadi made unilateral decision on MB nominees after Azmin rebuff, says source

Hadi has submitted his own list of names to the Sultan of Selangor as candidates to replace Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim as menteri besar. - The Malaysian Insider pic, September 5, 2014.Hadi has submitted his own list of names to the Sultan of Selangor as candidates to replace Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim as menteri besar. - The Malaysian Insider pic, September 5, 2014.PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang's unilateral decision to nominate three Selangor assemblymen from his party, instead of those agreed to by the party as menteri besar candidates, was done out of disappointment, a source revealed today.
The source said Hadi was disappointed over PKR deputy president Azmin Ali declining PAS’s nomination for the MB position on August 17.
Hadi then took it upon himself to nominate three of his party’s leaders to the Selangor Sultan, the source said.
“The letters were sent straight to the palace without having to go through the secretary-general’s office,” the source said.
After its central committee meeting on August 17, PAS announced that it was nominating two PKR leaders to take over from Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim – Azmin and PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
However, after a PR presidential council meeting later the same day, Azmin, who is Bukit Antarabangsa assembly person, declined PAS’ nomination.
Today, the party’s deputy president Mohamad Sabu admitted that the list of candidates which had been sent to the Sultan did not include Dr Wan Azizah’s and Azmin’s names.
Yesterday, PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali admitted that the party sent three names other than that of Dr Wan Azizah and Azmin.
Mustafa said PAS had sent the names of two other PKR state lawmakers and one from Selangor PAS. However, he did not reveal who they were.
This latest development could possibly strain ties between Pakatan Rakyat allies PAS, PKR and the DAP as they seek to resolve the prolonged Selangor menteri besar crisis.
PKR and DAP are adamant about wanting Dr Wan Azizah as the new menteri besar.
They have submitted her name to the Selangor palace along with the statutory declarations 30 Selangor law makers supporting her. This means she commands majority support in the 56-member Selangor Legislature.
The two parties did this even after the Sultan of Selangor had instructed the three parties to nominate more than two candidates for the post.
While PKR and DAP has stuck with just Dr Wan Azizah's name, there are reports that PAS has pursued its own course and nominated three names.
Differing reports claim that the Islamist party has submitted the names of its own leaders, while some say they nominated PKR leaders other than Dr Wan Azizah and Azmin.
