ALOR SETAR – Jeneri assemblyman Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has confirmed that he will be sworn in as Menteri Besar of Kedah today.
Sanusi, 49, who is also Kedah Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman said he would be taking the oath of office at Istana Anak Bukit here at 10am.
“Tomorrow, I will be sworn in as Menteri Besar at Istana Anak Bukit at 10am.”
He announced the matter while speaking at the Himpunan Mandat Rakyat programme held at the Kedah PAS Complex here last night.
In the state election last Saturday, PN won 33 out of 36 seats in the Kedah state assembly.
