Mukhriz to remain as Kedah MB

12.05pm: Alor Setar - Kedah Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir will remain in his post as he has obtained the support of Pakatan Harapan.

At a press conference today, Mukhriz says the Kedah government now consists of Bersatu and Pakatan Harapan.

However, it is not a unity government as envisioned by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, he adds.

"Everything remains the same except we are now known as a Bersatu-Pakatan Harapan government in Kedah. It's business as usual for all sectors," Mukhriz says.

He says he had an audience with the Kedah ruler today and briefed him about the current political situation.

Mukhriz adds that he also submitted 18 support letters to the sultan, saying the decision among them was unanimous to keep him as MB.

"The Sultan accepted the support letters. We urge the rakyat to remain calm and rational.

"Kedah is not impacted. We are just doing this to stabilise the state. Our focus is in Kedah, and we hope the crisis will be resolved soon," he stresses.

Accompanying Mukhriz are DAP, PKR and Amanah assemblypersons. - Mkini
