Iskandar managed to retain his vice president post by securing 703 votes.[6]

2016 Sungai Besar By-Election

In May 2016, Iskandar as the Vice President of PAS said that the party's decision to contest the 2016 Sungai Besar by-election is final and should not be questioned by anyone. He also said that it is a traditional PAS seat.[7]

In a related event, Selangor Chief Minister (Menteri Besar) Mohamed Azmin Ali denied allegation that he had asked the State Executive Councillors from PAS to resign from government if PAS intend to contest the by-election.[8]

Dropped As The PAS' State Commissioner For Selangor.

After winning the Vice President post for the second time he was dropped as the PAS' State Commissioner for Selangor.[11]

He is said to be in favour of working with other opposition parties and could be the reason he was axed.[12]

However, PAS Secretary General, Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan clarified that Iskandar has been promoted and given the task of monitoring the party's machinery in the central and south zones (Selangor, Melaka, Negri Sembilan and Johor).[13]

He was replaced by Ustaz Sallehen Mukhyi from Sabak.[14]

According to Iskandar he wanted to give way to a more high profiled candidate.[17]

He however was one of the 18 Central Committee members elected, finishing fourth garnering 856 votes from the 1,230 delegates.[18]
