Following PAS's decision to decline reappointing Kamarudin Md Nor as an executive councillor in Kelantan, Umno Kedah has suggested that the coalition partners reconsider the placement of Bersatu representatives in executive positions across state governments.
Umno Kedah contends that PAS's move in Kelantan raises questions about the current arrangement of executive council posts and signals a need to reorganize how state administrations are structured moving forward.
The development reflects ongoing tensions within the ruling Perikatan Nasional coalition, particularly regarding the distribution of political positions among its component parties. Kelantan has been governed by PAS, which holds significant influence in the state's administration.
Umno Kedah's call for a review suggests the party believes a broader reassessment of executive positions across states could prevent similar situations and strengthen coalition stability. The stance highlights inter-party dynamics within Malaysia's federal and state-level governance frameworks.
