Five incumbent Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Sabah Star) assemblypersons have declared their support for Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), distancing themselves from party president Jeffrey Kitingan’s decision to go solo in the coming state polls.

Caretaker chief minister Hajiji Noor confirmed that Star deputy presidents Ellron Angin (Sook) and Robert Tawik (Bingkor), as well as Abidin Madingkir (Paginatan), Annuar Ayub (Liawan), Flovia Ng (Tulid) had chosen to stand with GRS despite their party’s automatic expulsion from the coalition after opting to use its own logo.
