NSTnation: His appointment was made possible after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad resigned as the country’s 7th prime minister on Monday afternoon before being reappointed as interim prime minister a few hours later.
Muhyiddin, 72, who is Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president, is expected to take his oath of office before the King at 10.30 am tomorrow at Istana Negara.
The swearing-in ceremony will definitely be a significant event for the political figure who was once dropped as the deputy prime minister in the 2015 Cabinet reshuffle after criticising the government’s response to the corruption allegations. Muar-born Muhyiddin is one of the founding members of Bersatu in 2016 before it became one of the four parties that made up the coalition of hope or Pakatan Harapan that won the 14th general election . Bersatu pulled out of the coalition the same day Dr Mahathir resigned as prime minister.
