Abdul Hadi claimed UMNO approached PAS to team up for GE15 under Muafakat Nasional pact after which they had a meeting in a hotel with UMNO deputy president.
He said that UMNO put on a condition that PAS will have to break ties with other parties to join UMNO and gave two days to make the decision. “If no decision were made, no working together with PAS. They can command us. Later, they wanted to arrange the seats,” he added.
