KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has not dismissed the possibility of an early Sabah state election.
The Sabah Chief Minister, who is also Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) president, said that the term for GRS-PH Plus administration would end in October 2025.
"Even though we still have two more years, we may consider having the state election earlier, " he said in his keynote address at the Gagasan Rakyat 2023 annual general meeting here Monday (Nov 13).
As such, he said the Gagasan Rakyat machinery must be prepared to work hard to face the Sabah state polls because two years is not that far away.
When met by reporters after the event, Hajiji, however, said he still has no idea when the state election would be held.
Meanwhile, Hajiji said in the upcoming state election, it is hoped that there would be no more attempts to seize power as what had happened earlier this year, which could jeopardise political stability of the state.
The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) chairman said the dark episode in Sabah's politics was a deep disappointment. - Bernama
