KEDAH Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir tonight asked for more time before he issues any statement concerning current political developments in the state.

“Be patient, give me time to meet with my colleagues before I issue a statement. There are many more things which I need to do to ensure Kedah’s future,” he said briefly to reporters when met at the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport.

He arrived on a Firefly flight from Kuala Lumpur about 8.20pm with his wife Norzieta Zakaria.

The menteri besar is expected to convene a special meeting with state executive councillors at his official residence Seri Mentaloon tonight.

The political developments in Kedah continue to pose questions, with both the government bloc and the opposition still keeping mum on any changes to the state administration.

There are 36 state legislative assembly seats in Kedah, with PAS occupying 15, Bersatu (6), PKR (7), Amanah (4), Umno (2) and DAP (2).

The prime minister’s resignation and the exit of Bersatu from Pakatan Harapan has raised questions about the position of state governments run by the coalition. – Bernama, February 26, 2020.
