Umno's Kota Tampan assemblyperson Saarani Mohamad will finally be sworn in as the new Perak menteri besar.

Comptroller of the Perak Royal Household Abd Rahim Mohamad Nor, in a statement, said Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah is now satisfied that Saarani has majority support in the state assembly.

This came after four days of negotiations amid a deadlock between Umno and its Perikatan allies Bersatu and PAS.
