PETALING JAYA:

The new Negeri Sembilan menteri besar is scheduled to be sworn in before the Yang Dipertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, at 11am today.

The oath-taking ceremony is slated to take place at Istana Besar Seri Menanti, with state chieftains expected to also be present, Bernama reported.

Tuanku Muhriz granted Barisan Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi an audience last night, where the Umno president reportedly presented the names of three candidates for the top post.

BN won 18 seats in yesterday’s state election while Perikatan Nasional secured seven, giving the two coalitions a combined 25 seats and a two-thirds majority in the legislative assembly. - FMT
