Although endorsed by PAS spiritual leader and Kelantan Menteri Besar, Nik Abdul Nik Mat, it appears party vice-president Mohamad Sabu had been ruled out as candidate to contest in the Kuala Terengganu by-election.PAS has yesterday finalised its candidate for the crucial by-election next month at its central committee meeting chaired by party president Hadi Awang.
Although Hadi said an announcement would be made on Jan 1 - five days before nomination day - the likelihood of an outsider who is not from Kuala Terengganu being picked to contest the parliamentary seat looked very slim.
According to party's mouthpiece Harakahdaily, the doors seemed to be "almost closed" on Mohamad (right) - a party leader from Penang who was PAS candidate for Kuala Terengganu in the March general elections - following claims he as an “outsider” would not be generally accepted by the voters.
This is despite that the veteran politician is best known for his witty oratory skills and has the blessings from influential party leader, Nik Aziz.
Generally, the PAS candidate for Kuala Terengganu had always been a local and this trend is expected to continue despite Mohamad's choice in the March 8 general elections.
Hadi has yesterday strongly hinted that the likely candidate is a ‘professional who is close to the people’.
It is learnt two lists of names - one from Terengganu PAS and the other from PAS headquarters - were discussed at yesterday’s meeting and the candidate was picked after much deliberation in what party insiders say was very long meeting.
tunku : there goes nik aziz's man. i am sure it will be from the group close to anwar's camp as the candidate from this group will be sponsored by anwar.anwar wants his people to rule pas as it will be easier for him to control the pakatan.

so,the fate for one of the names that PAS suggested has been kicked out.Mat Sabu have to accept the fact that right here right now is not his heydays anymore.he's an old-timer.furthermore back then he lose at the last PRU.
pas ni memang double standard,
mat sabu berkhalwat dgn bini org dalam bilik hotel, tetap maksum.
mat sabu org pertama menggelar anwar dgn perkataan aljuburi kerana aktiviti sodomi anwar , tetapi selepas anwar ditendang dari umno kerana perbuatan melampau dia, mat sabu pusing 360 darjah kata anwar tak bersalah. jenis haprak punya manusia belaan nik aziz.
so,Mat Sabu is out of the list already.Mat Sabu should accept it and take his time off and concentrate more on his life and family.let the younger generation take over the business and hustle & bustle of politics.
this leaves out to 2 more names which is respectively named by the headquarter and state division.
Mereka ni bermasalah dalam hal meletakkan calon ni. Tak bersefahaman, mungkin nak letak calon yang berkepentingan untuk diri sendiri ke apa ke entah lah..
