KOTA KINABALU: While Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Musa Aman is slated to be sworn in as the Chief Minister at 8.30pm Thursday (May 10), his new ally Sabah STAR president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan (pic) says he did not join the coalition – rather, he was on the way to form a coalition of local Sabah parties without Umno.

A day after the May 9 general election, Dr Jeffrey announced that Sabah STAR, which won two state seats, would work with Barisan, which bagged 29 seats, to form the state government with a simple majority of 31 members in the state assembly.
