KDM pulls support for GRS-led Sabah government
Acting president Priscella Peter says the decision was made by the party’s supreme council at its annual meeting today.
Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) has announced it is withdrawing its support for the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah-led (GRS) state government in Sabah, Malaysia. KDM acting president Priscella Peter made the decision during the party's supreme council meeting held today. The reason for this move, according to Peter, is to demonstrate the party's direction to the public and to its grassroots supporters, ahead of the upcoming general election.
She emphasized that the decision was not made lightly and was aimed at showing KDM's commitment, not just in the run-up to elections. The announcement follows a week when Warisan president Shafie Apdal said his party is discussing a potential pact with KDM and Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku for the 16th general election. KDM contested independently in the November 2025 state election and secured only one seat, Paginatan. Subsequently, it aligned itself with the GRS administration led by chief minister Hajiji Noor.
