"Thank you to the state government for proposing me as a member of the Senate this time," he said when met after the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly swearing-in ceremony at Kota Darul Naim on Tuesday.

The proposal for the appointment of Nik Abduh was submitted by Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud, and it was supported by his deputy, Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan.

The Speaker of Kelantan State Assembly, Datuk Mohd Amar Abdullah, then brought the proposal to get a vote from the State Assembly members.

Kelantan state assemblymen, by majority, accepted the proposal.
