KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has been sworn in as Sabah Chief Minister for a second term before Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Musa Aman.
Hajiji, who retained the Sulaman seat in the polls, was sworn in at 3.05am on Sunday (Nov 30) at Istana Seri Kinabalu here after GRS formed a coalition state government together with Upko, Pakatan Harapan and five Independents.
In the recently concluded 17th Sabah Election, GRS won 29 seats, Upko (two), Pakatan Harapan (one) and five Independents for a total of 37 seats to obtain a simple majority in the 73-seat state assembly.
Warisan won 25 seats but was not able to gather enough support to form the state government.
