Homeland Solidarity Party

Homeland Solidarity Party or Malay: Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku Rakyat Sabah is a Sabah-based party. The party was formed on 14 July 2016 and founded by Datuk Seri Panglima Jeffrey Kitingan.[3] It was one of party in the alliance of United Sabah Alliance, which were jointly formed with Sabah Progressive Party in 2016. In the 2018 Malaysian general election especially after having won two state seats, the party became a partner with the 29 Sabah-Barisan Nasional assemblymen to form a coalition state government with a simple majority of 31 seats to winning the 2018 Sabah state election.[4] However, at the same time after the General Election-14, BN has collapsed in Sabah due to some BN members leaving the BN Coalition to support the Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN). The split caused the BN Government to lose its majority and fail to become the new government of Sabah. In connection with the fall of BN in Sabah, the President of the Sabah STAR Party held a meeting with the President of the Sabah United Party (PBS) to form a new Coalition, the Sabah United Coalition (GBS). This coalition continues until September 12, 2020, which is the date of the new Coalition established in Sabah, namely the Sabah People's Coalition (GRS).
