Ahmad Faizal made Negeri Sembilan PN chairman

Bersatu deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu today confirmed that he has been appointed as the Negeri Sembilan Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman with immediate effect.

Faizal is replacing former Kuala Pilah MP Eddin Syazlee Shith.

He said the move was among several things implemented to help the final preparations of the state election machinery ahead of the polls.

"Eddin remains in the leadership structure. He has performed well.

"The current effort is to involve the central leadership to increase and smooth the journey of the party machinery," he told Bernama in Seremban today.

However, Faizal refused to comment on the reason behind Eddin's removal as PN state chairman.
