KOTA KINABALU: A move to push for Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin to be the next chief minister has emerged after an alleged move to oust Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor was derailed.
As political undercurrents in the state administration continue, it is learned that discussions between Sabah Barisan and Parti Warisan led by Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal are now focussing on pushing for Bung to be chief minister.
Sources said this would place Barisan-Warisan in a better position to obtain a 40-seat majority in the 79-member house. However, Hajiji is also said to have strengthened his position by getting the support of seven Pakatan Harapan assemblymen as well as at least three assemblymen on top of the existing support from 29 GRS assemblymen.Officially, Bung has not said anything about the withdrawing Sabah Barisan's support for the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah government that came into power after the Sept 2020 state polls.
