BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has apologised on behalf of Perak BN, following the ouster of Bersatu's Ahmad Faizal Azumu as menteri besar.

Following this, BN, PAS, and Bersatu have agreed to back Perak Umno chief Saarani Mohamad as the state's new menteri besar.

The apology was made during a meeting between Zahid, Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, and the secretaries-general of BN (Annuar Musa), PAS (Takiyuddin Hassan), and Bersatu (Hamzah Zainudin) today.
