Umno president and BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has declared that the coalition’s alliance in Sabah will remain exclusively with Pakatan Harapan, effectively shutting out Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) from the equation.

The announcement, made in Kota Kinabalu after a closed-door meeting on Thursday night, ended speculations over whether there would be a three-way pact between BN, Harapan, and GRS.
