Kota Kinabalu: Sabah lawyer cum Sabah PKR Deputy Secretary, Sazalye Donol Abdullah, maintained that Parti Warisan Sabah President Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal has been lawfully sworn in as the Chief Minister of Sabah by the Head of State Tun Juhar Mahiruddin under Article 6 (3) read together with Article 7(1) of the State Constitution.He argued that although Sabah BN Chairman cum Sabah Umno Liaison Chief Tan Sri Musa Aman was sworn in as Chief Minister by the Head of State on May 10 after claiming a simple majority of 31 assemblymen following the kingmaker role played by Star which won two State seats, he (Musa) lost his majority in the State Legislative Assembly a day after the swearing-in when several of his elected representatives switched their support to Shafie."Musa had ceased to command the majority confidence. Against this backdrop of events, the vote of confidence in Shafie carried in the Special Sitting of the State Assembly on June 11 renders the action by Musa in the courts academic and an exercise in futility," he said in a whatsApp message to Daily Express.
