He hoped for strong turnout and urged people not to delay their votes until later in the day.
Smooth Polling Across Sabah
Hajiji, who arrived at the centre around 11.15am with his wife and four children, described the voting process statewide as peaceful and orderly.
Reports reaching him indicated fair weather in many districts, with no major issues so far.
He stressed the importance of maintaining harmony despite the multi-cornered contests.
Confidence in Sulaman and GRS
The Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah president is defending the Sulaman seat in a five-cornered fight for a ninth term.
Hajiji expressed confidence in retaining the constituency.
He also voiced optimism that GRS would secure enough seats to form the next state government.
