Selangor Pakatan Harapan chairperson Azmin Ali's efforts to woo PAS assemblypersons to crossover are said to have thrown a spanner into the works as far as the state seat negotiations are concerned.

Several Selangor Harapan leaders have revealed that due to this, the state is unable to initiate formal seat negotiations for the upcoming polls despite other states making progress.

Apart form the PAS factor, another obstacle was Selangor PKR's demand that it be given the lion's share of Selangor seats to contest amongst the four parties in the coalition, said the leaders who wanted anonymity.

The Harapan central leadership had directed all states to finalise their seat negotiations by Jan 31 following the completion of federal seat allocations earlier this month.
