KUALA LUMPUR – Kota Tampan assemblyman Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad has the majority in the state assembly to form a Barisan Nasional (BN)-Pakatan Harapan (PH) government, said Dewan Negara Perak member Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini.

The palace official confirmed the matter at a press conference outside of Istana Kinta, saying that Sultan Nazrin Shah will be swearing the Umno man in at 5.30pm today in Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar.

“Earlier, Abdul Aziz Bari from PH and Saarani from BN had an audience with the sultan and both agreed to form a government, with nine BN assemblymen and 24 PH assemblymen. In total, they had 33 assemblymen who named their chosen candidate as menteri besar,” said Annuar.
