Menteri Besar of Terengganu[edit]
When the Menteri Besar and 10 executive councillors (EXCO) was scheduled to be sworn-in before the Sultan of Terengganu, Mizan Zainal Abidin, PAS' Terengganu state commissioner Husein Awang declined to name the incoming Menteri Besar and EXCO members. On the contrary, he remarked that the media would find out after the swearing-in ceremony which could take up to two hours. Earlier it was reported that PAS had submitted three names as candidates to be appointed as the Menteri Besar including Samsuri. The rumours of Samsuri Mokhtar's name, who was political secretary to PAS president, Abdul Hadi Awang since 2008, being one of the names submitted had been raging among the party's leadership. Samsuri, who is also a former Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) lecturer and selected aerospace specialist, being selected amongst the candidates for Menteri Besar is part of the party's efforts to showcase new leadership generation in the state by mobilizing technocrats and scholars. He succeeded Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman as Menteri Besar after PAS won a two-thirds majority in the Terengganu State Legislative Assembly in the 2018 Terengganu state election, which enabled PAS to form the state government.
