TAN Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad was sworn in before state assembly Speaker Datuk Razak Mansor as the Bagan Pinang assemblyman yesterday.
Isa, who is Teluk Kemang Umno division head, was sworn-in on the first day of the state assembly sitting in Wisma Negri, here. The 60-year-old former Federal Territories minister was Negeri Sembilan menteri besar for 22 years between 1982 and 2004.
He won the Bagan Pinang seat for the Barisan Nasional with a 5,435-vote majority, beating state Pas commissioner, Zulkefly Mohamad Omar, in a by-election on Oct 11 after the seat fell vacant on the death of Azman Mohammad Noor, of the BN, on Sept 4.
