The swearing-in ceremony took place before the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, at the Istana Iskandariah in Bukit Chandan, Kuala Kangsa as 11th Perak Menteri Besar.

All 28 PR assemblymen boycotted the ceremony, with their supporters staging a demonstration outside the Ubudiah Mosque, just 300 metres from the palace.

Dr Zambry’s appointment effectively ended Perak’s political impasse, with the PR government losing its majority in the state legislative assembly when four of its assemblymen quit the parties’ to step down immediately.

They are Hee Yit Fong, the deputy state assembly speaker and a DAP assemblyperson, PKR's Behrang assemblyman Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Changkat Jering assemblyman Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu and Nasarudin Hashim of Bota who left Umno and joined PKR and defected back UMNO.
