KOTA KINABALU: Pakatan Harapan (PH) is discussing the formation of a new state government with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said tonight. 

Unofficial results of the 17th Sabah State Election, as of 10.05 pm, indicate that GRS was in the lead after securing 29 seats. 

Thirty-seven seats are required for a simple majority in the 73-seat state legislative assembly. 

Fuziah said PKR Central Election Committee operations director Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari is currently in discussions with GRS chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor to finalise the formation of the new state administration.

“Insya-Allah, I have been informed that we have the numbers to form the government tonight. Pakatan Harapan is honoured to be part of the incoming state government in Sabah,” she told a media conference at the PH Operations Centre here.
