    PETALING JAYA: PAS is expected to contest in 45 from the 56 state seats as well as 15 out of 22 parliament seats in Selangor, pending any agreements reached with regards to seat distribution for 14th General Election.
    Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad said the a final decision will be made based on current developments, as the party is no longer tied to any arrangements it previously had with the former Pakatan Rakyat coalition.
    "(Without any agreements so far), we have submitted our candidates to the PAS central committee for their consideration," he told reporters following a Selangor PAS gathering at Kuala Kubu Baru, today.
    Selangor PAS, he added had short-listed its candidates for more than 20 state seats and eight parliament seats so far.
    Despite the cessation of Pakatan Rakyat, PAS continues to remain in the Selangor government with PKR and DAP.
    During the 13th General Election, PAS contested in 20 from the 56 state seats, winning 15 of them. However PAS lost two of its assemblymen Hasnul Baharuddin (Morib) and Saari Sungib (Hulu Kelang) following the formation of its splinter party Parti Amanah Negara.

    The announcement by Selangor PAS to increase the number of seats echoed that of its Perak and Pahang counterparts.
    Selangor PAS' move to increase the number of seats contested comes after similar declarations by the party's Perak and Pahang chapters.
