The Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (often known simply as GAGASAN or PGRS) is a political party based in Sabah, Malaysia mainly to serve as the Sabah community and regionalism party.[1][2] The party was formed and registered on 28 August 2013 as a multi-racial Sabah opposition party then with the vision to present the views and will of the original Sabahans to the government.[3] It is only started to be active in 2016 and relatively little-known new party,[4] initially registered as Parti Gagasan Bersama Rakyat Sabah (Parti BERSAMA), was among the latest new parties registration approved by the Registrar of Society (RoS) and just received permission to operate as a political party in 2013.[5][6][7]

In March 2020, former 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]
