Istana Negeri summons Sabah reps to name their CM candidate

KOTA KINABALU – All eyes are on the Istana Seri Kinabalu Negeri Sabah where media personnel waiting at the entrance were told that Sabah’s assemblymen will be called soon for an audience with the head of state, Tun Juhar Mahiruddin.

“We will call them (the assemblymen) to state who they support as chief minister. This will be done soon,” said state communications secretary Datuk Abdul Rashid Mohd Tahir.

Sabah politics are again at an impasse after some Barisan Nasional (BN) elected reps decided to end their political cooperation with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).

Since then, BN and Sabah-based parties – Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat party and Warisan – have questioned the legitimacy of GRS chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor as chief minister. – The Vibes, January 7, 2023
