The Yang di-Pertuan Agong will meet with 114 MPs today, all of whom were previously part of or aligned to the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.

The monarch is expected to verify the MPs support for Umno vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob to become prime minister.

Buses carrying several MPs, as well as an entourage of MPVs, arrive at the palace.

Among those spotted on one of the buses are Umno's Jempol MP Salim Sharif and Arau MP Shahidan Kassim.
