Abdul Hadi Awang Prepared To Challenge Pak Lah In Kepala Batas

KUALA TERENGGANU, Feb 13 (Bernama) -- PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang is prepared to face Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in a straight fight in the Kepala Batas Parliamentary constituency in the 12th general election.
Abdul Hadi said he would contest in the constituency if that was what the party wanted.
"If the party asks me to contest (in Kepala Batas), I'm prepared (to do so). I abide by the party's decision. (But) whether I contest or otherwise is not important. What is important is that we work to bring about changes," he said.
He said this at a press conference at the Terengganu Pas Liaison office here, when commenting on the dissolution of Parliament by the Prime Minister in Putrajaya today.
Abdul Hadi, who is the State Assemblyman for Rhu Rendang, however said the final decision on the matter rested with the Penang Pas Liaison Body.
"What is certain is that Pas will contest in a straight fight (against the Barisan Nasional candidate) in Kepala Batas," he said.
He said he was also willing to contest in any other constituency if nominated.
In the 2004 general election, Abdul Hadi stood in the Marang Parliamentary constituency but lost with a 163-vote majority to Datuk Abdul Rahman Bakar, who is the Deputy Minister of Human Resources.
