KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Bersatu chairman Datuk Hajiji Mohd Noor is set to be sworn in as the state’s 16th chief minister today.
The 65-year-old Bajau warlord from Tuaran has the backing of all 41 assemblymen under the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), amid a shadow being cast by a Warisan Plus leader that the bloc was also still trying to get the numbers in the 73-member assembly.
Nearly 48 hours after Saturday’s election, GRS comprising of Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has overcome the impasse between Bersatu and Umno over the choice of chief minister.
