Osman had only led the state government for 11 months, before resigning as Menteri Besar in April 2019. [10] He were replaced by another BERSATU MLA, Sahruddin Jamal, as Menteri Besar, who then led the state government for another 11 months, until the wake of 2020 Malaysian political crisis, which saw the exit of BERSATU and most of its MLAs from PH, which resulted in Sahruddin's resignation.
A new state government formed under a coalition of BN and Perikatan Nasional (BERSATU and PAS), with BN's Hasni Mohammad sworn in as Menteri Besar in February 2020.
