Barisan siezed Perak !

Perak which was under Pakatan Rakyat's control since last general election on March 2008 has been siezed by Barisan Nasional today.

"Barisan Nasional in Perak now has sufficient support to form the new state government" - Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Barisan Nasional won majority by 31 seats (28 BN 3 Bebas) while Pakatan Rakyat just 28 seats. This is because 3 PKR (1 PKR Assemblymen, Nasaruddin rejoined BN) and 1 DAP assemblymen switched to Bebas and supported Barisan Nasional as Perak government.

Sultan Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah told Mentri Besar Perak, Nizar and his excos to resign.

Datuk Zambry Kadir (Pangkor Assemblymen) is the new Mentri Besar of Perak, replacing Nizar Jamaluddin.
