New Kedah menteri besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah has replaced Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir as Kedah Umno liaison committee chief with immediate effect. State news agency Bernama reported that the announcement was made by Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor in a statement this morning. He also announced that Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid would be Bashah's deputy. Mukhriz resigned as menteri besar on February 3, ending a tussle in the state that began when Kedah Umno declared on January 20 they lost confidence in his leadership and wanted Najib to intervene. Ahmad Bashah, who led the press conference, was sworn in as menteri besar. – February 11, 2016.]]>
