PN leaves Melaka exco appointments to Rauf's discretion, says Idris

Melaka: Perikatan Nasional (PN) has decided to entrust the appointment of its assemblymen to the state executive council (exco) to the incoming Chief Minister of Melaka, Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh. Pas vice-president Datuk Idris Ahmad declined to comment further on the matter, stating that it was entirely within Rauf's discretion.

Idris emphasized that the crucial issue at hand was the PN party's agenda, which began with securing victory in the 16th Melaka state election. He highlighted the significance of the party's triumph over prominent political figures in several key seats, citing evidence of public support for the Melaka unity wave. PN managed to win three state seats in the election - Paya Rumput, Bemban, and Bukit Katil - and will be part of the state government alongside Barisan Nasional.
