The2025 Sabah state election, formally the17th Sabah general election,[1][e] was held on 29 November 2025. All 73 seats were contested to elect members of17th Sabah State Legislative Assembly. No constituencies were added or removed in aredistribution from the previouselection.
Incumbent Chief MinisterHajiji Noor led hisGabungan Rakyat Sabah majority coalition government to seek a second five-year term. GRS was primarily challenged by WARISAN, led by state opposition leaderShafie Apdal. Other parties such asBarisan Nasional,Pakatan Harapan, KDM,Perikatan Nasional,STAR,SAPP,UPKO,Parti Impian Sabah, and other minor parties and independents also contested in this election.
The state election resulted in ahung assembly for the second time since the2018 Sabah state election. GRS won the most seats in theSabah State Legislative Assembly with 29 seats.
Traditionally, state elections are held simultaneously with the parliamentary election but each state can decide when to hold its election. This is because state assemblies are dissolved by their respectiveruler or governor on the advice of the chief minister of the state.
The pre-election state government led by Hajiji was formed following the2023 Sabah political crisis, whereUMNO Sabah had attempted to engineer the formation of a new government by retracting its support for Hajiji in the state legislative assembly. The attempt failed and resulted in the exclusion of UMNO andMalaysian United Indigenous Party (BESATU) from GRS and the state government. Pakatan Harapan, with whom Hajiji's GRS was alliedat the federal level, was instead brought into the state government.
In the lead-up to the election, GRS and Pakatan Harapan agreed to an electoral pact to avoid contesting against each other. Unhappy with the decision, GRS component parties STAR and SAPP left the coalition and contested the election together.[2] Separately, UPKO exited Pakatan Harapan, citing differences in understanding, particularly over issues of state rights and autonomy, as well as frustrations surrounding the political leadership of Pakatan Harapan's Sabah chapter.[3]
The state election was held against a backdrop of increased nationalist or regionalist sentiment, encapsulated by the "Sabah for Sabahans" slogan, related to the state's fight for autonomy,[4] including over the issue of revenue sharing. Other prominent issues included a mining license corruption scandal, which implicated members of the ruling GRS alliance as well as the federal government through a series of secret recordings made by businessman Albert Tei released over the course of a year.[5][6]
Elections in Malaysia are conducted at the federal and state levels. Federal elections elect members of theDewan Rakyat, the lower house ofParliament, while state elections in each of the 13 states elect members of their respectivestate legislative assembly. As Malaysia follows theWestminster system of government, thehead of government (Prime Minister at the federal level and theMenteri Besar/Chief Ministers/Premier at the state level) is the person who commands the confidence of the majority of members in the respective legislature – this is normally the leader of the party or coalition with the majority of seats in the legislature.
The Legislative Assembly consists of 73 members, known asMembers of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), that are elected for five-year terms. Each MLA is elected from asingle-member constituencies using thefirst-past-the-post voting system; each constituency contains approximately an equal number of voters. If one party obtains a majority of seats, then that party is entitled to form the government, with its leader becoming the Chief Minister. In the event of ahung parliament, where no single party obtains the majority of seats, the government may still form through acoalition or aconfidence and supply agreement with other parties. In practice, coalitions and alliances in Malaysia, and by extension, in Sabah, generally persist between elections, and member parties do not normally contest for the same seats.
Thevoting age is currently 18.[7][8][9][10] Elections are conducted by theElection Commission of Malaysia, which is under the jurisdiction of thePrime Minister's Department. Malaysia practices automaticvoter registration but does not practicecompulsory voting.
On 27 March 2024, State Chairman ofBarisan Nasional (BN) andUnited Malays National Organisation (UMNO) of SabahBung Moktar Radin dismissed the possibility of Sabah BN to work withGabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition led by Chief MinisterHajiji Noor.
Hajiji meanwhile, said that GRS is open to collaboration from other parties, but insists that the preference is working together withPakatan Harapan (PH), who joined the Sabah government after BN withdrawal during the2023 Sabah political crisis.[11]Parti Warisan Sabah (WARISAN) also were interested in cooperating with GRS for the elections, but according to its presidentShafie Apdal, its invitation to discuss such collaborations were turned down by GRS several times.[12]
Meanwhile,Perikatan Nasional (PN) have announced its intention to contest all 73 state seats in its first foray into the state, the move which led toSabah Progressive Party's (SAPP) exit from PN, as announced by party leaderYong Teck Lee in December 2024, as SAPP insists that only party which has origins in Sabah are allowed to contest the election.[13] SAPP will contest the election under GRS, the local coalition which it is a component in parallel with PN since 2020. This is the first time PN contesting the election under its own banner, although its component partySabah BERSATU have contested and won seats before, under PH (PKR) and GRS in the 2018 and 2020 state elections respectively. PAS and GERAKAN also have contested in Sabah before, with GERAKAN having won seats under BN banner.
On 15 December 2024,Social Democratic Harmony Party (KDM), through its PresidentPeter Anthony also confirmed that the party would contest the election as a party, without being in a coalition and working together with other parties, targeting 43 state seats. Anthony, who is also theMelalap MLA however, announced that he would not contest the election and defend the Melalap state seat in the election, in view of the pending appeal to his court case.[14] After Peter loses his final appeal on 4 March 2025 and sentenced to jail immediately, the party moved on 7 March 2025 to appoint his daughter Priscella Peter as the acting President.[15]
On 15 January 2025, PN, through its Deputy ChairmanHamzah Zainudin launched the slogan 'Kasi Bagus Sabah' (Make Sabah Great Again inEnglish) as part of its preparations for contesting the election.[16]
On 16 January 2025, theMalaysian Chinese Association (MCA), through its PresidentWee Ka Siong, confirmed that the party would contest in the election.
On 2 October 2025, theHomeland Solidarity Party (STAR) andSabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has left the rulingGabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition. However 5 of STAR MLA decided to stay with GRS for the election, and were expelled from STAR.[17]
On 6 October 2025, Chief Minister Hajiji Noor officially announced the dissolution of the 16thSabah State Legislative Assembly.[18]
United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO) announced on 10 November 2025 that it has exited the PH coalition and will contest under its own banner, a day after its leader,Ewon Benedick resigned as federal cabinet minister.[19]

Shortly after the election results were confirmed, Hajiji was sworn in as chief minister for a second term. While his coalition only won 29 seats in a hung assembly, he reportedly received the support of a number of other parties to form a government.[43] These included Barisan Nasional, UPKO, STAR, Pakatan Harapan, KDM, as well as five independent assemblymen.[44]
The state cabinet unveiled following Hajiji's swearing in included members of, besides his own coalition, Barisan Nasional (UMNO), UPKO, and Pakatan Harapan. The inclusion of Barisan Nasional in government generated some controversy and pushback in some quarters, including Hajiji'sown party's youth wing and a number of GRS assemblymen.[45]
Following its exclusion from government, STAR entered into opposition and reiterated its stance that the state government should only comprise of local parties. Nevertheless, one of its two assemblymen was later appointed an assistant minister in a personal capacity.[46][47]
State opposition and Warisan leader Shafie Apdal criticised the employment of state machinery by the federal and state government as well as the "rampant money politics" during the election, pointing out that his party had nevertheless won the popular vote.[4]
Despite the poor performance of Barisan Nasional as a whole, with UMNO losing six seats, coalition memberUnited Sabah People's Party managed to regain representation in the assembly. Bung Moktar Radin, Sabah BN chairman and assemblyman-elect for Lamag, died on 5 December 2025, just six days after the election ended.[48]
Pakatan Harapan had a poor showing, winning only one seat. Coalition memberDemocratic Action Party (DAP) lost in all eight constituencies it contested, including six it had held going into the election. The six seats were won by Warisan, including three the DAP had won in 2013 and were considered strongholds.[49] As the party mainly relies on the vote of urban and semi-urban Chinese, the swing against it has been described as a "Chinese tsunami".[50]
