The Sabah Progressive Party (Malay: Parti Maju Sabah, abbreviated SAPP)[1] is a multiracial political party based in Sabah, Malaysia. It was registered on 21 January 1994 by dissidents led by former Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee from United Sabah Party. Formerly a component party in the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, SAPP officially withdrew from BN in September 2008 to become independent.[2] As of 2010, SAPP has two representatives in the national legislature and two in the Sabah State Assembly. In 2016, the party together with Homeland Solidarity Party formed the United Sabah Alliance.[3] It later joined the United Alliance together with STAR and PBS in 2018. The SAPP became the main component party of the Perikatan Nasional and GRS coalition, the successor of United Alliance that was established in 2020 and registered in 2022.
