MELAKA: State Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh is expected to be sworn in as Melaka Chief Minister tomorrow after BN and Perikatan Nasional secured enough seats to form the state government in the 16th Melaka election.
The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for 11am at the Melaka Yang di-Pertua Negeri's office, paving the way for Rauf to serve a second term as chief minister.
BN and PN won 24 of the 28 state seats contested, giving the coalition partners a two-thirds majority in the state assembly.
Earlier, BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced that the two coalitions would nominate Rauf to continue leading the state government following their victory.
