PAS rep set to take over as Kedah MB

ALOR SETAR: The Kedah state government is set to be led by a new mentri besar from PAS after two former PKR assemblymen announced they have lost confidence in Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir’s leadership, triggering Pakatan Harapan’s collapse in the rice bowl state.

It is heavily speculated that Jeneri assemblyman Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, who is Kedah PAS deputy commissioner 1, would be replacing Mukhriz as mentri besar as the Islamist party commands the majority of seats in the incoming Perikatan Nasional state government.
