PAS information chief Nasrudin Hassan said party may contest in more than 100 parliamentary constituencies in the next 14th general election, but believes it can win at least 40.

PAS now holds 14 of the 222 seats in the Dewan Rakyat.

"We may place candidates for 100 (parliamentary) seats but we target that 40 of those will be won or are seats which we can easily win.

"Besides that, we need to win an additional 60 to 80 seats depending on the strength of our party machinery," he told reporters at Bukit Damansara today.
