PKR deputy president Azmin Ali was sworn in as the Selangor menteri besar two days after the May 9 general election without the endorsement of Pakatan Harapan parties.

This was revealed by PKR’s Ijok state assemblyperson Dr Idris Ahmad in a press conference at his residence this morning.

“There has been speculation that Harapan wanted me to be the new menteri besar before the 14th general election.

“So, when we were in the joyful mood celebrating our victory, two days later a new menteri besar was proclaimed without the blessing of the parties.

“I don’t want to be a gentleman anymore, he (Azmin) just went there (Istana Alam Shah) on his own,” he claimed.
