THE swearing-in ceremony of the Negri Sembilan menteri besar will be held tomorrow at 3pm at Istana Sri Menanti, Kuala Pilah, state Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Aminuddin Harun said.

Aminuddin, however, declined to divulge who will be appointed the next menteri besar.

“Tomorrow we will know who the menteri besar is,” he told reporters today.

Aminuddin said he was granted an audience by Negri Sembilan Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir at Istana Hinggap this morning to inform the ruler of the state election results yesterday.

The Negri Sembilan polls saw PH and Barisan Nasional (BN) succeed in forming the state government after winning 31 seats in the 36-seat state assembly. PH won 17, BN 14, while Perikatan Nasional secured five seats.

In the meantime, he said he is the state PH candidate for menteri besar.

“(Negri Sembilan) Pakatan Harapan is still unanimous for me to be menteri besar, I think that will not change,” he said, adding that the final decision would be determined by the coalition’s central leadership. – Bernama, August 13, 2023.
