KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Governor Juhar Mahiruddin has asked for time to decide on the next chief minister, Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) President Bung Moktar Radin said today.
“He has asked for some time,” Bung told reporters as he left the state palace at 3:20 pm today.
When asked how long the governor had asked, he said: “As soon as possible.”
The other Gabungan Rakyat Sabah leaders also left the palace at the same time. Among them were the head of the Sabah National Alliance, Hajiji Noor, the president of STAR, Jeffrey Kitingan, and the general secretary of PBS, Jahid Jahim.
When asked by reporters about the meeting with the governor, Jahid simply said it was “a good discussion.”
Meanwhile, Hajiji remained tight-lipped and only said, “The governor will decide.”
The leaders of the PN and BN appeared to make a decision today after holding an hours-long meeting to decide on the GRS prime ministerial candidate.
Bung had said that he was very happy with the outcome when he left the meeting venue to meet the governor.
However, he dodged questions about who was the agreed prime ministerial candidate and said: “We will let the governor decide.”
