The election took place during the organisation's governing board meeting in Astana, Kazakhstan, on Thursday. This marks Malaysia's return to the role, having last held it in 1982. ASOSAI will now host its secretariat in Malaysia, reflecting confidence in Wan Suraya's leadership to steer the organisation's strategic direction, particularly in capacity development, research, and expertise exchange in public sector auditing.",
