BN deputy chairperson Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, who successfully defended his Rantau seat, said the PH-BN pact will put forth credible candidates for the council to decide, reported New Straits Times.
"This will depend on the ministers (in the unity government) as well as the council who will discuss the best candidate to lead the state. We will suggest those with credibility and get the state ruler's approval. Hence, it is up to him to decide the most suitable candidate," he told reporters at the KL World Trade Centre.
