KOTA KINABALU – A victory for Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) led by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and his allies in the Sabah state election on Saturday (Sept 26) has not immediately resolved the months of political turmoil, as the parties failed to decide on a Chief Minister candidate and asked the Sabah governor Juhar Mahiruddin to make a decision in the coming days.

GRS initially aimed to get a new chief minister sworn in by 11am on Sunday, but missed the deadline as meetings between GRS parties continued in the morning.

Unable to resolve the impasse, GRS’ main leaders, including the two chief minister candidates, Umno’s Sabah Chief Bung Moktar Radin and Sabah Perikatan Nasional (PN) chief Hajiji Noor, met Tan Sri Juhar.

Tan Sri Juhar, according to Datuk Seri Bung, had asked for time to make a decision, meaning a swearing-in ceremony will not take place on Sunday. Chief Ministers are typically sworn in on the day right after the election.
