Reaching out after a final interview for an internal position ?

I am currently working as an SDR. I've done well and now I'm looking to become an AE at the same company.

I've made it through the final interview stages and am essentially to the point where I will either get a job offer or rejection.

There are a lot of moving pieces as it is a new department that they're building out from scratch and it has led to this being a longer process. They had to hire another manager and she ended up having to push her start date which delayed the hiring for AEs. Again, a lot of moving parts. Seems like a great opportunity and great people, however, all the delays in the process has been frustrating.

At one point I was told by one of the hiring managers, "I have your back. I won't forget you, just be patient." however that was almost 7 weeks ago. She has said many things implying that she wants to offer me a position but this whole process has been over 3 months.

I was told last week that I should hear back any day now but they've been saying that for a while. Should I stay patient or should I demand answers from them ?

Thanks in advance.
