KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal today brushed off talk of a snap election in the state, saying his administration has the numbers to govern until the end of its term.
“I don’t want to stop the people from having their views, but under the state constitution it’s quite clear that we have another two and a half years to govern the state. Wong, who is an assistant minister to the chief minister, had suggested a snap election in the state to stop assemblymen from crossing over and forming a backdoor government.However, Shafie said Sabah did not need an election as it was not a hung state.“We have 45 assemblymen with us. Even if some quit, I will still be in the government. So there’s no need to dissolve the state assembly.”
