Rauf, the Tanjung Bidara assemblyman, took his oath of office before Melaka governor Ali Rustam at Kompleks Seri Negeri in Ayer Keroh.

Last night, BN and Perikatan Nasional named Rauf for the chief minister’s post after the alliance won 24 seats in the state election.

The Melaka Umno chairman was first appointed as chief minister in 2023 after his predecessor, Sulaiman Ali, resigned.
