KOTA KINABALU: A formal election pact between Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and Sabah Pakatan Harapan (PH) is increasingly likely ahead of the 17th state election.

Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) vice-president Datuk Masiung Banah (pic) said both blocs have shown mutual support, forming the basis for a collaborative campaign.

He revealed PH has expressed backing for Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor’s administration, with final details to be confirmed at a GRS Supreme Council meeting.
