Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) won 29 seats in the 17th Sabah State Election but needs 37 for a majority in the 73-seat assembly. Warisan secured 25 seats, Barisan Nasional won 6, and independents claimed 13. The political landscape remains fragmented, prompting upcoming negotiations for majority formation.
Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is leading the unofficial results of the 17th Sabah State Election with 29 seats, followed by Parti Warisan with 18 and Barisan Nasional with nine. GRS is positioned for government formation but still requires alliances, as it does not have the outright majority of 37 seats.
Sabah’s 17th State Election features a record 596 candidates contesting 73 assembly seats. Independent candidates lead with 74 entries, followed by major parties like WARISAN and Parti Impian Sabah. Analysts expect fierce competition and potential vote splitting. The election addresses critical issues such as development and autonomy, promising unpredictability.
