PETALING JAYA: Pahang DAP has decided to back Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail to continue serving as menteri besar while expressing willingness to work with Barisan Nasional to form the state government.
However, it acknowledged that the Pahang palace will have the final say on who becomes the menteri besar.
According to Astro Awani, Pahang DAP chief Leong Ngah Ngah said negotiations with BN’s state chapter will be done by Pahang PH chief Amirudin Shari.
“We will give them time to settle their matters first. We’re leaving it to Amirudin to hold discussions with Pahang BN to find a solution.
“We’re expecting good news to be announced today,” Leong said.
Wan Rosdy said Pahang PH did not have any candidates for the menteri besar’s post, adding that the coalition only had eight state seats.
No party has formed the Pahang government yet, after Perikatan Nasional won 17 seats in the state assembly, followed by BN with 16 and PH with eight.
The election for the Tioman seat will be held on Dec 7 following the death of PN’s candidate Yunus Ramli on Saturday morning.
PH and BN have jointly formed the Perak state government, with state Umno chief Saarani Mohamad sworn in as the 15th menteri besar yesterday.
Talks are ongoing on a PH-BN federal government. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has given party leaders and heads of coalitions until 2pm today to propose their prime ministerial candidates. - FMT
