Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor announced that Gabungan Rakyat Sabah will maintain its formal alliance with Pakatan Harapan for the upcoming election. The Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah president emphasized political stability as the primary objective rather than mere electoral success. GRS plans to compete for most of the 73 state constituency positions while continuing discussions with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim regarding seat distribution. Grassroots supporters have demanded independent candidacy following recent party conventions where members chanted for solo participation. The federal coalition's membership with Umno creates tension since the party previously attempted to remove Hajiji from power.
A three-day PGRS convention will prepare party machinery for potential snap elections this weekend. Hajiji distributed scholarships to top-performing students during ceremonies highlighting educational investment growth. The state government increased scholarship funding from RM50 million in 2020 to RM136 million in 2025. This represents an RM86 million increase from 2019 levels under previous administration. The funding demonstrates the current government's dedication to supporting Sabahan student education.
