The 19 Kedah BN assemblypersons who came to Wisma Darul Aman today to meet the Regency Council over the menteri besar crisis are tight-lipped over what transpired during the session which started about 2.30pm.

Reporters swarmed their vehicles and tried to ask the assemblypersons as they left at about 5.30pm, but they did not make any comments.

Bakar Bata assemblyperson Ahmad Bashah Md Hanapiah said "no decision has been made yet", as he was leaving the building.

Guar Chempedak assemblyperson Ku Abdul Rahman Ku Ismail refused to comment.

Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir left the building about 5.30pm after Regency Council head Tunku Sallehuddin Tunku Badlishah, without speaking to reporters.

It is learnt that Mukhriz was asked to meet with the Regency Council.

The council also met with speaker Md Rozai Safian.

The meeting was held following Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's meeting with the Kedah sultan to seek approval to remove Mukhriz as MB.

It is learnt that the Kedah sultan, who is also the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, has requested Najib to provide three more names as potential candidates.

Earlier, it was speculated that Bashah, who is state Umno deputy chief, would be the new menteri besar.

Bashah kicked off the Kedah MB crisis when he together with 14 division leaders called for a press conference to oust Mukhriz ( photo ), who started his term after the 2013 national polls when Umno wrested the state from PAS.

Mukhriz's removal appeared imminent as Bashah said he has obtained the majority - 19 out of 36 Kedah assemblypersons.

Najib also reportedly told the BN reps when he met them yesterday, to accept the new MB.

Reporters are not allowed into Wisma Darul Aman, Kedah state secretariat and state executive council building.

However, they were treated to packed chicken rice and mineral water by Ramli Hassan, who runs a restaurant in Alor Setar.

It is learnt that Ramli is a supporter of Bashah.
