00:00Past President Abdul Hadi Awang remains highly motivated to lead the party, with no indication
00:07of any plans to step down despite calls for him to make way for other leaders in the party
00:12elections this September, a source says.
00:16The source said that during a meeting last month, Hadi had shown no sign of relinquishing
00:21the presidency, a position he has held since 2002.
00:25The source said Hadi remains eager to steer PAS forward, adding that his insights are
00:30still sharp and incisive.
00:34Some PAS members had reportedly urged Hadi, the Marang MP, to make way for younger leaders,
00:39especially as the party gears up for the 16th general election.
00:44This fueled speculation that the positions of President and Deputy President could be
00:48contested for the first time since 2015, when they were won by Hadi and Tuan Ibrahim Tuan
00:54Man.
00:55In an interview with FMT last month, Tuan Ibrahim said he would not run for the top
00:59spot when the polls are held later this year, insisting that Hadi would remain at the helm.
