KOTA KINABALU, July 30: Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal has announced the dissolution of the Sabah State Legislative assembly at Kota Kinabalu today.
The dissolution of the state assembly is expected to pave the way for a snap election in Sabah which is expected to be held in the next 60 days.
According to the national news agency Bernama, Shafie who is Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) president made the announcement at the Sabah State Administrative Centre after he obtained consent from the Sabah Yang dipertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin.

The Warisan-led state government under Shafie currently holds 45 seats out of the 65 seats in Sabah DUN.

He was also reported to have an audience with Tun Juhar today.
