The registration and the rise of the party

This political party was formed and registered on 28 August 2013 by Dr. Ationg Tituh as a multi-racial Sabah opposition party then with the vision to present the views and will of the original Sabahans to the government. It is only started to be active in 2016 and relatively little-known new party, initially registered as Parti Gagasan Bersama Rakyat Sabah (Parti BERSAMA), was among the latest new parties registration approved by the Registrar of Society (RoS) under Societies Act 1966 constitution and also just received permission to operate as a political party in 2013.

An attempt to cooperate

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 pro tem 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. 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. 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.

Takeover by former Sabah Bersatu leaders

On 29 January 2023, Hajiji Noor announced to lead Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (GAGASAN). He said GAGASAN will be used to continue the struggle as a local party in Sabah. GAGASAN was also accepted by the GRS coalition as a component party on December 9, 2022.

The member of parliament for Papar, Armizan Mohd. Ali said four former BERSATU Sabah members of parliament will not join Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah because of the anti-hopping law. Instead, they will remain as direct members of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).

On 5 February 2023, Hajiji Noor has officially taken over Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (GAGASAN) following the party’s Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).

On 21 February 2023, Yusof Yacob, along with other 8 MLAs support Hajiji. At the same time, Yusof Yacob, James Ratib, Jasnih Daya, Mohd Arsad Bistari, Hamid Awang, Mohammad Mohamarin, Ben Chong Chen Bin and Norazlinah Arif joined GAGASAN.
