During the last GE14, Mustapa better known as Tok Pa, the Jeli incumbent won on the Barisan Nasional (BN) ticket before jumping ship to Bersatu.
Tanah Merah incumbent Ikmal Hisham had also followed Tok Pa's footsteps in joining Bersatu after Pakatan Harapan won GE14.
PN chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the position of the two figures was decided in a recent meeting and agreed to allow Tok Pa and Ikmal Hisham to contest under the Pas logo.
"Don't forget to vote for them (these two candidates). This is to guarantee PN's victory in Kelantan," he said.
He said this while delivering a speech at the Himpuan Penyatuan Ummah to celebrate 32 years of the administration of Membangun Bersama Islam at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium here on Friday.
Also present were Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang and Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob.
In the meantime, Muhyiddin said that all PN candidates contesting in GE15 must sign an anti-corruption pledge and proclamation.
"The pledge and proclamation is the commitment of GE15 candidates representing PN to not violate the act as stipulated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
"It is made in the name of Allah. We have practiced this during the Melaka and Johor State Elections (PRN).
"PN is the only coalition in this country that does that," he said.
He said this is one of PN's promises to ensure that all candidates have high integrity.
In another development, the Bersatu President said that PN will place candidates in all of the 27 hot seats.
"For GE15 this time, we will announce all PN candidates according to their respective states and not centrally.
"This is to ensure that the people will get to know their candidates more closely," he said.
