Nasharudin accepts defeat, says split vote possible cause of loss



Outgoing PAS deputy president Nasharudin Mat Isa said today his loss could have been due to a split vote in the three-cornered race.

But the three-term deputy president, however, stressed today that he did not blame anyone for the loss.

“Three-cornered fights in party polls are not something new, but they could lead to a possible split vote,” he told reporters.

“I am not blaming anybody because it is the right of delegates to choose as granted in the constitution and we have to respect the constitution,” the Bachok MP said.

Mohamad Sabu won the party deputy presidency today with 420 votes, leading a group of progressive leaders to counter conservatives who prefer to link up with Umno.

Mohamad defeated incumbent Nasharudin who received only 224 votes and Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man who came second with 399 votes. A total of 1,100 delegates voted in this year’s party elections.

The three-cornered contest was billed as a contest between the party’s conservative ulama faction and professionals (dubbed “The Erdogans” in reference to progressive Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan).

Party insiders agreed that Tuan Ibrahim and Nasharudin’s candidacy had divided the ulama support, handing Mohamad the victory.

Today, Nasharuddin reiterated the importance of the ulama in the party despite the professionals sweeping the party leadership.

“I admit only a few names are representing the ulama but the party leadership is well represented by leaders of different backgrounds from the two so-called teams.

“It is not really a big issue as we still have the shura and ulama council,” he said.

Nasharudin, a university lecturer, has held the deputy presidency since 2005 and is said to have fallen out of favour with the grassroots after having been accused of pushing for Umno-PAS unity talks.

However, he denied the accusation and said that he has never personally pushed for the talks.

“The unity government talks was a party decision and I was only fulfilling my responsibility,” he said.

Nasharuddin, this is a lesson for you, you need to be consistent. PAS delegates are consistent, they want change, they are patient, they want to fight corruption, they are simple minded Melayus,they want to work with PKR and DAP.

They want to change the corrupt administration, but your flirtings with UMNO had them on their nerves. You are now out in the cold, perhaps you will be the next Nakhaie, considering your lust for power?

Struggle and fight as a team Nasharuddin, do not forsake long term benefits for short term gains. Wait for your chance, perhaps after the next PRU when Pakatan Rakyat is in Putrajaya!

Really, you are the source of uncertainty in Pakatan and PAS for your many flings with UMNO!

Well done all delegates of PAS, now, together with PKR and DAP you can look forward to Putrajaya! Malaysians are looking for change and in PAS we look for honest quality leadership. Malaysians of all races, vote PAS wherever it contests against UMNO. UMNO hardly has less than 60 odd seats in the peninsular, and with the expected tsunami in Sabah and Sarawak, its numbers will dwindle.

We have had enough of lies, sex, sodomies, deceits, racial taunts, religious insults! Now we must kick UMNO out! Remember, they at their weakest point or they will not go out of the way to woo PAS and DAP! Factions with Najib will not vote candidates from Muhyddin's camp and likewise, so it is now or never, Malaysians!

We need to read the political situation carefully, and now is the time! Together we can look forward to the dawn of a new era, with these exciting professionals from PAS! Honest and dedicated compared to those from UMNO! Selamatkan Malaysia!
