The Selangor State Executive Council (Malay: Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri Selangor; abbrev: EXCO/MMKN) forms the executive branch of the state government of Selangor, Malaysia. It comprises the Menteri Besar, appointed by the Sultan on the basis that he is likely to command the confidence of the majority of members of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly, and a minimum of four up to a maximum of ten members of the State Assembly. Additionally, the State Secretary, State Legal Adviser and State Financial Officer, who are civil servants that serve as ex officio members.
It is similar in structure and role to the Cabinet of Malaysia, while being smaller in size. As federal and state responsibilities vary, there are a number of portfolios that differ between the federal and state governments.
Members are nominated by the Menteri Besar and appointed by the Sultan. The Council has a number of committees; each committees will be chaired by the respective members, will take care of certain state affairs, activities, state government departments and agencies. Members of the Council are always the chair of a committee.
All members were sworn in on 21 August 2023[1] following the 2023 Selangor state election on 12 August, while portfolios were announced on 23 August 2023.[2] The appointment of Rizam Ismail marks the first time in 15 years that Barisan Nasional was a part of the Selangor State Government since their defeat in the 2008 Selangor state election to the then Pakatan Rakyat coalition.
This State Executive Council was created after the formation of the Seventh Mahathir cabinet, which saw Azmin Ali appointed as the Minister of Economic Affairs, meaning that he had to relinquish his post as Menteri Besar.[3] Subsequently, Azmin's protégé and close political ally, Amirudin Shari was nominated and sworn in as the next Menteri Besar on 19 June 2018.[4]
Due to colon cancer, Prof. Dr. Shaharuddin Baharuddin passed away[5] and was replaced by Mohd. Khairuddin Othman on 10 December 2018.[6] Following the Sheraton Move, Abdul Rashid Asari and Haniza Mohamed Talha were removed from the State Executive Council.[7] As a result, a reshuffle took place on 17 September 2020, with the appointments of Borhan Aman Shah and Zawawi Mughni as new members of the State Executive Council.[8] The final makeup of the State Executive Council was completed on 7 October 2020, with the announcement of the portfolios for its members.[9] After the Selangor State Legislative Assembly was dissolved on 23 June 2023 to pave the way for elections to be held,[10] the State Executive Council was disbanded and members served in a caretaker capacity.
