Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor is still Sabah’s Chief Minister even though Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) through its component party Umno has announced withdrawing support for Hajiji as Chief Minister, GRS stressed Saturday.
In a joint statement issued by the leadership of the four component parties in GRS, they agreed that the announcement does not affect Hajiji’s current position because the legitimacy of the Chief Minister is determined through the support of the majority of members of the State Legislative Assembly based on the State Constitution. “Hajiji remains as the Chief Minister of Sabah and any media statements by political parties have no effect from a legal point of view,” said the statement.
Bung Moktar said Sabah BN and PN implemented an agreement to form the Sabah government after the state election in 2020, but Hajiji and the leaders of Sabah Bersatu, which is also a PN component, left the coalition causing the current state government to have no legitimacy.The four presidents of the GRS component parties reaffirmed that the Sabah assemblymen from GRS remained steadfast in their support of Hajiji’s leadership as Chief Minister.
