he Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) partnership, formed in the aftermath of the failed political coup attempt in January 2023, will remain a genuine and lasting collaboration, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

Hajiji described GRS as a strong local coalition aligned with the aspirations of Sabahans who want to see local parties leading the state’s political direction.
He also praised component parties such as PBS, Star, SAPP, Usno, PHRS, LDP, and PCS for their unity and contributions in strengthening GRS as the largest local alliance in Sabah.
He said the commitment shown by these parties, including at recent events like the PBS-Star Convention, reflects a shared determination to keep Sabah led by local parties well into the future.
