Gabungan Rakyat Sabah
Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS; English: Sabah People's Coalition) is a Malaysian coalition of Sabah-based parties. It was established in 2020 and then registered in 2022 by former United Alliance of Sabah (GBS) and United Borneo Alliance (UBA) component parties operating solely in Sabah inspired by the formula of Sarawak-based coalition, Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). Gabungan Rakyat Sabah gained significant popularity among Sabahans with a regionalist political outlook.
On 12 September 2020, Hajiji Noor established an informal alliance named Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) to compete against Shafie Apdal's ruling Warisan Plus coalition consisting of Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN), the Democratic Action Party (DAP), Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), and the United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO) during the 2020 Sabah state election. The GRS alliance consisted of Hajiji's Perikatan Nasional Sabah (PN) coalition, the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS).
During the Sabah state election held on 26 September, the alliance won a simple majority in the Sabah State Legislative Assembly, total of 38 seats: 17 from Perikatan Nasional, 14 from Barisan Nasional, and seven from PBS. Sabah Perikatan Nasional chairman Hajiji Noor became the new Chief Minister of Sabah on 29 September.
Under the new GRS administration, projects that had been stopped by the previous Sabah government were restarted and continued, including the Sabah Pan-Borneo Highway Project, Recognition project of Anjung Kinabalu KK Night Market and the development project of The Skybridge City Centre Kota Kinabalu.
On 9 January 2021, the various leaders of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah signed a memorandum of understanding affirming each party's commitment to the alliance, with chief minister Hajiji Noor maintaining that the alliance would remain intact regardless of the political situation on the peninsula.
On 24 November 2021, the alliance's backbenchers club chairperson Salleh Said Keruak floated the idea of registering Gabungan Rakyat Sabah as an official political coalition, arguing it was necessary as a means of strengthening the alliance. The proposal received the support of various party leaders, including Jeffrey G. Kitingan, Masidi Manjun, Yong Teck Lee, Bung Mokhtar Radin, Joniston Bangkuai and Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
The alliance was officially registered and legalised by the Registrar of Societies on 11 March 2022, with Sabah BERSATU, PBS, STAR, and SAPP as its members.
On 9 May 2022, the United Sabah National Organisation (Baru) (USNO Baru) was admitted as a member of the coalition.
