Perlis BN has nominated its Tambun Tulang assemblyperson Ismail Kassim to become the new Perlis menteri besar.
Perlis BN chairperson Shahidan Kassim, who is Ismail’s older brother, announced this to reporters upon arriving at the Alor Setar airport today.
He said his party handed a letter on the nomination to Perlis ruler Sultan Syed Sirajuddin Syed Putra Jamalullail at 11.30am this morning.
“BN has agreed to propose Ismail Kassim as the Perlis menteri besar candidate. I have delivered the letter on BN’s behalf to His Majesty, and His Majesty would abide by the constitution.
“The menteri besar shall be appointed from someone who has the support of the majority of the assembly members,” he said.
Ismail won the Tambun Tulang seat with a majority of 1,180 votes, defeating PKR’s Maton Din and PAS’ A Bakar Ali.
