Azmin Ali is the new Selangor Menteri Besar.
According to The Star Online, the Selangor palace had sent out a letter appointing the Bukit Antarabangsa assemblyman as successor to the embattled Khalid Ibrahim.
The Gombak MP and PKR deputy president was among the three candidates said to have been ‘interviewed’ by Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah last week.
The swearing-in ceremony will be held at Istana Alam Shah at 10am.
Reports say that PKR’s political bureau – after stressing continued support for party president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as MB – held an emergency meeting at its headquarters to discuss the latest developments.
The Malay Mail Online reported earlier that Azmin Ali had been seen at palace for a rehearsal of the swearing-in ceremony.
