United Alliance (Sabah)

The United Alliance of Sabah (Malay: Gabungan Bersatu Sabah; abbreviated: GBS) is a political coalition bringing together Sabah-based opposition parties in Malaysia established by Joseph Pairin Kitingan following the fall of Barisan Nasional coalition in the 2018 Malaysian general election. The new coalition planned to include the United Sabah Party, Homeland Solidarity Party and remnants of other Sabah BN members,[1][2] mainly from Sabah-based United Malays National Organisation members led by Musa Aman to join PBS.[3][4]However, there have been no confirmation that any Sabah BN members have switched over to PBS and Musa Aman has remained in UMNO.[5][6]
