Gabungan Parti Sarawak

Gabungan Parti Sarawak (unofficially translated as Sarawak Parties Alliance) or GPS is a Sarawak-based political alliance in Malaysia. It was established in 2018 by four former Barisan Nasional component parties operating solely in Sarawak following the federal coalition's defeat in the 2018 Malaysian general election.[7] It is currently the fourth-largest bloc in the Dewan Rakyat and forms the government in the state of Sarawak.

The coalition was formed on 12 June 2018, consisting of the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu, Sarawak United Peoples' Party, Parti Rakyat Sarawak and Progressive Democratic Party.[8][9] The coalition focuses on the state's interests and rights based on the Malaysia Agreement and remain an opposition at the Pakatan Harapan federal government despite the readiness to "cooperate and collaborate".[7] On 23 August 2018, its Chairman, Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari (Abang Jo), announced that GPS has been registered and is awaiting the issuance of the official letter from the Registrar of Societies.[10] The coalition was finally legalised on 19 November 2018.[1][2]

Following the 2020 Malaysian political crisis which saw the PH government lose its majority in the Dewan Rakyat, GPS entered into an agreement by declaring support for the new government coalition, Perikatan Nasional. Abang Jo, however, maintained that the agreement will not see GPS become a member of PN, but will remain as a partner instead.[11] A week after PN's prime ministerial pick, Muhyiddin Yassin, was sworn in as the new premier, he announced his cabinet which saw four MPs from GPS appointed full ministers, and five others as deputy ministers.[12]
