KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal has just left Istana Negeri after meeting up with the Yang DiPertua Negeri amid a push to topple the 26-month-old state government.

Shafie was seen with his deputies Datuk Jaujan Sambakong and Datuk Christina Liew returnng to his official house in Likas here at about 10.30pm.Shafie and leaders were huddled in discussion following a claim by arch political nemesis Tan Sri Musa Aman that he had enough assemblymen to form the state government on a simple majority in the 65 member house.As of 11pm, the political positions of two assemblymen remain unclear.

At 6.15pm on Wednesday , Musa said that he will be providing statutory declarations of the assemblymen supporting him.
