KOTA KINABALU: A move to topple the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) government led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor seems to have fizzled out.
It is learnt that the numbers needed for a simple majority - 40 out of the 79 seats in the state assembly - remain elusive.
Sabah Pakatan Harapan has also distanced itself from supporting a possible Warisan-Barisan coalition. Meanwhile, GRS assemblymen also gathered at the Sabah International Convention Centre since 6pm on Thursday to back Hajiji. So far, neither Shafie nor Bung has officially commented on a possible move over both parties forming a coalition government in Sabah.
Some party sources indicated that Sabah Umno assemblymen were not unanimous over the idea of working with Warisan. Without naming the group, he said, Hajiji has majority backing, including from the seven Sabah Pakatan assemblymen who were considered part of the Opposition in the state at the moment, to remain as Chief Minister and thus to lead the state.
