Sultan appoints Azmin as new MB

PETALING JAYA - The Selangor palace has sent out a letter appointing PKR deputy president Azmin Ali as the next mentri besar.

The official announcement will be made at 9am Tuesday, followed by the ssearing-in ceremony at 10am.

Azmin was among three candidates "interviewed" by Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah last week to assess their suitability for the top post.

The other candidates were PAS Sijangkang assemblyman Dr Ahmad Yunus Hairi and Chempaka assemblyman Iskandar Abdul Samad.

Azmin is Bukit Antarabangsa assemblyman and Gombak MP.
