Negeri Sembilan Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Aminuddin Harun was sworn in as menteri besar for a second term today.
Aminuddin, 56, took his oath of office, loyalty and secrecy before the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, at Istana Besar Seri Menanti in Kuala Pilah at 4.15pm.
On Aug 12, the PH-Barisan Nasional (BN) alliance succeeded in forming the state government after winning 31 seats – 17 for PH and 14 for BN – while Perikatan Nasional (PN) secured five seats.
Aminuddin retained his Sikamat state seat, defeating PN candidate Ahmad Raihan Muhamad Hilal and two independent candidates, Bujang Abu and Mohammed Hafiz Baharudin, with a majority of 2,662 votes.
The Port Dickson MP has held the Sikamat state seat for four terms since 2008.
