The snap state election was called prematurely after a political crisis arose. Both Shafie Apdal, incumbent Chief Minister and leader of Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition government and Musa Aman, leader of Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition opposition claimed to have the majority to form the government. However, the Governor of Sabah, Juhar Mahiruddin decided to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly on the advice of Shafie.[3]
The state election was conducted under the special standard operating procedures (SOP) imposed by the Electoral Commission (EC) due to the New Normal as the country is still under the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) due COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition won the election with a simple majority of 38 seats. The coalition consists of United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) (14) and Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU) (11) with support from United Sabah Party (PBS) (7) and Homeland Solidarity Party (STAR) (6). Hajiji Noor from BERSATU was sworn in as Chief Minister 3 days later. For the first time since 2003 in which the rotation system was scrapped, the Chief Minister position was offered to a non-majority party.
Background
The 14th general election witnessed 29 seats from the government side and 31 seats from the non-government side filled the State Legislative Assembly. This count, however, did not include six seats from United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO) and four from UMNO that switched allegiance from Musa to Shafie. The government side has 11 safe seats and four fairly safe seats, while the non-government side has two safe seats and fivefairly safe seats.

Aftermath
Warisan saw a gain of 2 more seats from its previous 21 seats in the 2018 election. While its ally PKR and DAP retained their number of seats with 2 and 6 respectively. Warisan also made history by becoming the first and only single party in Sabah to not govern the state despite winning the most seats overall.
On the other side, STAR, led by Jeffrey Kitingan won 6 seats compared to 2 in the previous election, with most of the seats won hailing from the interior of Sabah which is dominated by the Kadazan-Dusun-Murut (KDM) community. UPKO, even though representing the KDM community, managed only 1 seat in this election, a loss from 6 seats in the previous election.
PPBM or Bersatu, despite being a Malay based party from West Malaysia and contesting in Sabah for the first time, won 11 seats.
Just two months later, assemblyman for Bugaya was pass away trigged for by-election however it was blocked by declared state of emergency for this constituency along to be Gerik constituency.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Following the Sabah state government's announcement on 9 August that the state election would be held on 26 September, several members of the public and democracy observers urged local authorities to consider postal voting due to the ongoing pandemic and in order to reduce virus transmissions during the election.[17][18] On 21 August, the High Court dismissed an appeal by 33 Sabah assemblymen against Governor Juhar Mahiruddin's consent for the dissolution of Sabah's legislative assembly, allowing the state election to go ahead.[19][20] On 11 September, the Federal Court dismissed Datuk Jahid Noordin Jahim's appeal to stop the election, allowing nominations to proceed the following day.[21]
The return of voters and politicians from Sabah to Peninsular Malaysia has caused a significant influx of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. Daily reported cases increased to three digit numbers. Several of these ministers and politicians had reportedly not complied with standard procedures around COVID-19.[22][23][24] On 14 October, the Federal Government announced the implementation of a Conditional Movement Control Order in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya due to the rising number of cases.[25][26]
