KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Umno chairman Tan Sri Musa Aman (pic) was sworn in as Chief Minister for the fourth term.

He took the oath of office before the Yang di-Pertuan Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin at Istana Negeri at 11.10pm Thursday (May 10).

The swearing-in ends uncertainty triggered by a hung state assembly following GE14.

Sabah Barisan won 29 seats while Parti Warisan Sabah led by Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal also picked up 29 seats, making Sabah STAR with two seats the kingmaker.

Earlier in Thursday afternoon, Sabah STAR president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitinggan pledged the support of his party for Sabah Barisan.

Both Musa and Shafie had attempted to get themselves sworn in as chief ministers earlier, with both claiming to have a simple majority of 31 seats.
