Melaka Governor Mohd Khalil Yaakob today met with all 15 Melaka state assemblymen, 13 of whom are from BN, and one each from PKR and DAP.

All of them were seen gathering at the MITC Hotel in Ayer Keroh before departing at 3.23 pm by bus and personal vehicles to the Governor's Office, located 10 minutes away.

Also spotted was Melaka BN chairperson Ab Rauf Yusoh.

The meeting was believed to further discuss the appointment of the new chief minister of Melaka after the swearing-in ceremony for the new chief minister, which was initially slated for today, was postponed to Monday, March 9.

Last Monday, it was reported that former chief minister Adly Zahari had lost the majority support of Melaka state assembly members through the vote of no confidence.
