Sabah state polls scheduled for Sept 26, amid legal challenge to stop it
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's easternmost state Sabah will hold a state assembly election on Sept 26, the country's Election Commission announced on Monday , amid an ongoing legal challenge on the validity of the assembly's dissolution.
The High Court in Kota Kinabalu, the Sabah capital, is only scheduled to decide on whether such the case has merits on Friday . The state polls are expected to be a crowded affair, with both Sabah-based parties and national parties from Peninsular Malaysia taking part. However, Mr Musa's younger brother, former federal minister Anifah Aman, had also thrown his hat in the fray after announcing that his new Parti Cinta Sabah , which is not aligned to either camp, will contest more than half of the 73 state seats.The 2018 elections saw Mr Shafie and Mr Musa, who was then incumbent chief minister, winning 29 seats each in the then 60-strong assembly.
