MB to have audience with Sultan tomorrow over Selangor exco line-up

Mohamed Azmin said the Selangor exco line-up will only be known latest tomorrow after a second round of talks with top leaders of Pakatan Rakyat.

"We are studying the exco line-up. Insha Allah, we will wrap it up on Thursday. I will have an audience with the sultan to get his consent before the swearing-in on Friday," he told reporters in his office at the State Secretariat(SUK) building here, today.

Yesterday, Mohamed Azmin held a meeting with representatives of PKR, PAS and DAP to discuss the state exco line-up at PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya.

Earlier, Mohamed Azmin who is also PKR deputy president entered the SUK building at 7.45 am to begin his official duties as the menteri besar.

On arrival, Mohamed Azmin was met by State Secretary Datuk Mohammed Khusrin Munawi and some government officials.

The Bukit Antarabangsa state assemblyman then headed to the menteri besar's office on level 21 and clocked in at 7.50 am.

The new Selangor menteri besar later attended a meeting with senior government officials.

Mohd Azmin,50, was sworn in as the Selangor menteri besar before Sultan Sharafuddin at Istana Alam Shah, Klang yesterday.

Meanwhile, PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim declined to comment on the exco line-up as the decision lies with Mohamed Azmin as the menteri besar.

"This is within his power as the menteri besar. We have to give him the confidence to negotiate with leaders of parties before seeking the consent of the sultan."
