The source also said GRS has effectively left it to GPS to decide on the bloc’s decision, with the Sabah coalition to follow whatever its Sarawak counterpart decides on.
“(GPS chairman) Abang Johari Openg is the spokesman for the bloc,” the source added.
It is understood that GRS’ decision to work as a bloc with GPS has ruffled feathers in PN.
GRS chairman Hajiji Noor also leads Bersatu’s Sabah chapter. Muhyiddin is the Bersatu president.
On Saturday, Abang Johari said GPS would form the federal government with PN, Barisan Nasional and GRS.
Two days later, Hajiji reiterated that GRS was backing Muhyiddin as prime minister to form the government.
However, BN has decided not to back PH or PN in forming the government, saying it would remain in the opposition.
Abang Johari also later said GPS would leave it to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to decide on who the next prime minister should be.
GPS leaders were expected to meet the King at 11am today.
