A new Perak Menteri Besar will be sworn in tomorrow.
A statement from state secretary Ahmad Suaidi Abdul Rahim said the swearing-in ceremony will take place at the Istana Iskandariah (above) in Kuala Kangsar at 3pm.
However, the statement did not name who the new menteri besar was.
It is understood that this will only be announced tomorrow.
Earlier today, Perak Perikatan Nasional submitted the names of three candidates to Perak ruler Sultan Nazrin Shah.
Former Perak MB Ahmad Faizal Azumu confirmed that the three candidates are himself, state Umno chairperson Saarani Mohamad and PAS chief Razman Zakaria.
Perak has a total of 59 assembly seats. Initially, Harapan controlled 30 seats comprising DAP with 18 seats, Amanah (six), PKR (four) and Bersatu (two).
Meanwhile, Umno has 25 seats, PAS has three and one is held by an independent assemblyperson.
In the current alignment after the defections, PN now controls 35 seats which include Umno's 25, PAS (three), Bersatu (four) and three independent seats (held by former DAP and Amanah members).
Only 24 state seats remain with Harapan. - Mkini
