Guest: Ibrahim Suffian, Programme Director, Merdeka Center
PAS's federal ambitions are being closely watched as political realignments take shape. Ibrahim Suffian, Co-Founder and Programs Director at the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research, joins The Morning Run to analyse PAS’s strategy as it shifts from an opposition anchor to the prospective lead partner of a national governing coalition.
Ibrahim evaluates the significance of UMNO leadership attending the Muktamar, potential seat-sharing compromises between PAS and its partners, and the electoral dynamics across key state battlegrounds like Selangor, Perak, and Pahang.
He also breaks down UMNO’s internal dilemma regarding Penyatuan Ummah (Malay-Muslim unity) and what signals to monitor as UMNO convenes its own General Assembly.
