KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has majority support from the 79-seat Sabah state assembly to remain as the Chief Minister, says Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah secretary-general said there have been certain quarters that have claimed to have the support of more than half of the assemblymen to enable another group to form a new state government.In a statement Wednesday , Masidi said Hajiji, who is also the GRS chairman, has majority backing to continue spearheading the present government.“We are prepared to prove the validity of the support to the appropriate party when and if needed.
Masidi’s remarks followed that of a previous statement by constitutional lawyer Datuk Fuad Tengku Ahmad who had said the decision of the 14 Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia assemblymen to leave and become direct members of GRS does not affect the position of Hajiji as Chief Minister.This was due to the support of the 46 reps, in addition to the confidence and supply commitment of the seven Pakatan assemblymen, to back Hajiji as Chief Minister.
“Based on these numbers, Hajiji clearly has the support of 57 assemblymen - a majority in the 79-member state assembly and thus continues to enjoy the confidence of the assembly in accordance with Article 6 of the Sabah Constitution,” said Fuad.
