BATU PAHAT: Johor PAS will aim to contest in more than 40 seats in the state during the next general election if the party were to sever ties with PKR. PAS fielded candidates in eight parliamentary seats and 30 state seats in Johor in GE13. Dr Mahfodz was speaking to the media after attending the Johor PAS convention at Parit Bisu near here on Saturday. Last week, the state's PAS Youth wing unanimously voted in its recent muktamar to break ties with PKR, citing the lack of respect PKR had for bi-party relations. The party's divisions in other states like Terengganu, Kedah and Penang also passed similar resolutions, urging PAS to sever ties with PKR.
