KOTA KINABALU: Former Sabah chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman is claiming that he has the numbers to form a new state government, after weeks of political manoeuvring.

However, he stopped short of saying the actual numbers he has in hand, only claiming that he had a “simple majority” to take over the state government from Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal, whose coalition government currently holds 45 seats in the 60 member house.
