Kedah Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir's position remains secure despite the new Perikatan Nasional regime having the ability to challenge the current state of the Kedah government.

According to sources, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and PAS will not interfere with Mukhriz's position at the helm of the state government even though he has not fallen in line with the Bersatu president's move to form a new government.
