KOTA KINABALU: More definitive guidelines for the Governor to appoint a Chief Minister need to be incorporated into the state Constitution, says the Sabah Law Society (SLS).

SLS said the deletion of Article 6 of the state Constitution by the Sabah Assembly last month effectively left a vacuum for guiding the Yang di-Pertua Negeri to appoint a Chief Minister who will command the majority in the Assembly.

The state government, under Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, moved to delete Article 6 of the state Constitution that guided the Governor to pick the leader of the majority party as chief minister. The deletion of the Article has raised concerns as the last two state elections in 2018 and 2020 did not see any single party emerging as a clear winner.
