PAS is struggling to keep its presence in the Kuala Besut state felt as the party is slowly slipping away from the race to take Kuala Besut state constituency from Barisan Nasional (BN) to deny BN as the state government.
Walaupun pembangkang di DUN Kuala Besut giat dengan kempen PAS Ganti UMNO (P.G.U.) dan kempen 16:16, namun nampaknya majoriti pengundi yakin pada calon muda yang diketengahkan BN pada PRK ini.
