With Kedah caretaker Menteri Besar (MB) Dato’ Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor retaining the Jeneri DUN seat earlier today, he is likely to become the state MB again. However, PN is yet to announce its MB candidate for Kedah as of yet, particularly after Sanusi’s recent controversy.

Do note that PN may well win more seats as votes are still being counted but they are already confirmed to win Kedah as no other parties or coalitions can catch up with them.
