Aftermath
Mohd Shukri Ramli from PAS was sworn in as the new Menteri Besar on 22 November 2022, while the 6 state EXCO members were sworn in on 25 November 2022. Gan Ay Ling, the sole opposition member of the Assembly, was made the Opposition Leader.
The government of Mohd Shukri collapsed in December 2025, after majority of the Member of Assembly from his own PN coalition announced their non-confidence of him in a statutory declaration. This results of Mohd Shukri's resignation as Menteri Besar, and ascension of Abu Bakar Hamzah from BERSATU as the new Menteri Besar with EXCO members solely from BERSATU. The crisis also resulted in sacking of PAS Member of Legislative Assembly who supported the no confidence declaration from the party, and deterioration of PAS-BERSATU relationship in the PN coalition.
