  "account": "Kota Kinabalu, Oct 17 — Chief Minister Hajiji Noor is set to address a massive gathering of over 3,000 delegates and observers at the 2026 GRS Convention in Kudat, aiming to secure at least 16 parliamentary seats for the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS). While GRS regained power in the State election in November last year, the convention emphasizes the need to maintain their momentum and advance the development agenda for Sabah under the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) 2.0 roadmap. The convention, held at Dewan Tun Mustapha, rotates the venue among Sabah's districts, reflecting GRS' commitment to cooperation and unity across its component parties and partners in the State Unity Government. With the political climate in Sabah favoring GRS, the coalition feels confident of gaining voter trust and winning back key parliamentary seats previously held by opposition parties.",
