Tan Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar has been named as the eighth Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak effective Friday (Jan 26), according to a report.
It was earlier reported that he had submitted his resignation as Dewan Negara president.
In June last year, Wan Junaidi was nominated as the Dewan Negara president, taking over from Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim. He served as an MP for seven terms since 1990 before choosing not to contest his Santubong seat in the 15th General Election.
The previous Sarawak governor was Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, who held the position from March 2014.
