In March 2020, GAGASAN president Dr Ationg Tituh, Love Sabah Party (PCS) president Wilfred Bumburing, Sabah Native Co-operation Party (Anak Negeri) president Henrynus Amin and yet-to-be registered Parti Hak Sabah protem president James Ligunjang had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to unite the four parties as a new alliance under the existing GAGASAN party with Anifah Aman as the president.[8] GAGASAN is to be renamed, while the three other parties are to be dissolved upon approval from the components’ respective supreme councils according to the plan.[9] However the planned Sabah opposition front merger fizzles out after GAGASAN and Anak Negeri withdraw to pursue their own party agenda as the supposed merger president Anifah had joined PCS and was elected as PCS president instead in July 2020 before the snap state election.[10][11]
