    ALOR SETAR: The appointment of the Kedah State executive council (exco) line-up will be settled this week, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor (pic).

    He said the names of the candidates will be decided by leaders of the component parties in Perikatan Nasional who will meet on Monday (Aug 14) afternoon to discuss the matter.

    “We will hold a meeting this afternoon and I will look at the names proposed by them before choosing those who can help to implement and translate the Kedah Development Plan 2035.

    “It will be a difficult task (to select the candidates) as all our elected representatives have the qualifications. As for the number, I’ll maintain it at 11, including myself, and the portfolio will be adjusted according to our current needs,” he told a press conference at his office in Wisma Darul Aman here.

    The Jeneri assemblyman was sworn in as Kedah Menteri Besar before the Sultan of Kedah Al-Aminul Karim Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah at Istana Anak Bukit, here in a ceremony held at about 10am on Monday

    He was re-appointed to the post following Perikatan’s big win in the state election two days ago. It won 33 out of the 36 seats in the State Legislative Assembly.

    In last Saturday’s state election Muhammad Sanusi, who is also the PAS Kedah deputy commissioner, retained the Jeneri seat after defeating Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Datuk Muhamad Khizri Abu Kassim with a majority of 16,050 votes.

    Meanwhile, when asked about the state government’s relationship with the federal government, Muhammad Sanusi said it would be a new beginning and that he was prepared to cooperate for the sake of the Kedah people. – Bernama
