"They have also given BN the mandate to select a new menteri besar for Perak," he said.
Nasarudin has denied the claim that he had been abducted.
Najib added that under Article 16(6) of the Perak constitution, if the menteri besar loses the confidence of the assembly members, he is required to resign, together with all the exco members under him.
