KUALA LUMPUR: With Negri Sembilan like likely to be under Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional control, the unity government presidential council will decide who will be its next menteri besar.
BN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, who successfully defended his Rantau seat, said the PH-BN pact will put forth credible candidates for the council to decide.
"This will depend on the ministers (in the unity government) as well as the council who will discuss on the best candidate to lead the state.
"We will suggest those with credibility and get the state ruler's approval. Hence, it is up to him to decide the most suitable candidate," he tokd reporters at the Kuala Lumpur World Trade Centre.
Previously, Prime Minister and PH chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had announced that Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun would be retained as the state's menteri besar if it stays in power.
He had said the suggestion was made following Aminuddin's satisfactory work performance and good record as the state's menteri besar.
Unofficial results have put PH and BN as having been returned as the Negri Sembilan state government.
