However Mohd Anuar was one of the moderate and progressive PAS leaders referred to as G18 who were ousted at the 2015 PAS leadership election^[3]^[4]^[5] that led them to launch the new splinter party, AMANAH with Mohd Anuar as its first secretary general.^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

But he lost in all his attempts until he contested and won in the 2018 general election the parliamentary seat of Temerloh in Pahang as an AMANAH candidate.^[2]
