Ex-navy man jumping ship to Bersatu strategic move, says PAS

Mohd Rizwadi Ismail’s move to quit PAS and join Bersatu more than 24 hours before being named as Perikatan Nasional’s candidate for the Nenggiri by-election in Kelantan was a strategic decision.

According to the Islamic party’s deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, a survey showed the 41-year-old former navy personnel had a higher chance of winning the state seat compared to other candidates from Bersatu.
