PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali was today sworn in for his second consecutive term as Selangor's menteri besar after Pakatan Harapan retained the state in the 14th general election with a supermajority.
The ceremony before Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah was held at the Balairong Seri of Istana Alam Shah in Klang this afternoon.
In the ceremony, Azmin took two oaths - one for the menteri besar position, followed by another to be inducted as a member of the Selangor Royal Council.
Azmin, who successfully defended his Bukit Antarabangsa state seat and Gombak parliamentary seat in the May 9 election, is the 15th Selangor menteri besar.
When met later, Azmin said he would have another audience with the sultan on Sunday to present names of his 10 state executive council members.
"In the last term, we had four (exco members) from Keadilan, three from DAP and three from PAS.
"But now, of course, we need to discuss with Harapan parties, based on the number of seats won," said Azmin, who added that he would be meeting with Selangor Harapan component party leaders tomorrow.
Decision tomorrow on exco members
Asked about the candidates to be appointed as exco members, Azmin said the matter would be decided at tomorrow's meeting before being submitted to the sultan on Sunday.
"What is most important, is that the sultan has decreed that all those to be nominated must have the right qualifications," he said.
Azmin also said the swearing-in ceremony for all Selangor state exco members will be held at the palace on Monday afternoon.
In the 14th general election, Harapan captured 51 out of 56 state seats in Selangor, leaving the opposition bench to be made up of four BN assemblypersons and one from PAS.
Harapan candidates also captured 20 out of 22 parliamentary seats in Selangor.
