Perlis Perikatan Nasional (PN) will present the name of their menteri besar candidate for the approval of the Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail this afternoon.
Perlis PN chairperson Shukri Ramli said central PN has delivered a letter to Perlis PN to present the name of the candidate as the new Perlis menteri besar and the appointment of the new menteri besar must obtain the consent of the Raja of Perlis as stated in the Perlis State Constitution.
"Yesterday we (PN Perlis) had a meeting with the party leadership and we unanimously agreed to present a new menteri besar candidate to the Raja of Perlis this afternoon," he told Bernama in Kangar today.
Shukri (above), who is also Perlis PAS commissioner, said the formation of a new 'clean and stable' state government under PN is proceeding smoothly.
He said he was informed that the swearing-in ceremony for the new menteri besar of Perlis will be held soon after getting the approval from the Raja.
PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin in a meeting with Perlis PN machinery a few months ago said if PN controls Perlis then the menteri besar will be appointed from among PAS assemblypersons as the party is more senior in the coalition.
In GE15, PN managed to sweep 14 out of 15 state assembly seats besides winning all three parliamentary seats in the state - Padang Besar, Arau, and Kangar.
Only one state seat was won by Pakatan Harapan through Gan Ay Lin representing PKR who defended her Indera Kayangan seat.
BN on the other hand recorded its worst result during the general election in the state when it failed to defend any seats including the Bintong state seat when Perlis menteri besar Azlan Man lost to PN-PAS candidate Fakhrul Anwar Ismail who won with a majority of 4,329 votes in a six-cornered competition.
