KUALA LUMPUR — Sabah will face a snap election after the assembly was dissolved on Thursday (July 30) following a day of political tumult.
Chief Minister Shafie Apdal announced the state assembly dissolution during a press conference in Kota Kinabalu on Thursday.
State governor Juhar Mahiruddin consented to the dissolution, which follows attempts by former chief minister Musa Aman to form a new government after securing several defections from Mr Shafie’s administration.
The election has to take place within 60 days of the dissolution.
