2015 Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party leadership election

The 2015 Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) leadership election was a pivotal event in the context of Malaysian politics, significantly impacting the party's direction and its relations with various political factions, including those influenced by Indian politics. Held in June 2015, the election featured a contest primarily between incumbent president Abdul Hadi Awang and challenger Mohamad Sabu, reflecting the ideological rift within the party between conservative and reformist factions. The election's outcome saw Hadi re-elected, which further entrenched PAS's conservative stance and influenced its approach towards coalition politics. The election was noted for the tensions and ramifications it caused within Malaysia's opposition landscape, particularly amidst the broader dynamics of regional Islamic movements and their interactions with political entities in neighboring India.
