LABUAN - Sabah-based political party, Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) has expanded its presence to Labuan, with 21 branches and over 2,000 members.

The Labuan division of PGRS is led by Rosli Awang Damit, the younger brother of former Labuan Member of Parliament, Mulok Awang Damit.

PGRS’ president is Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor.

PGRS vice-president 1 Datuk Dr Mohd Ariffin Mohd Arif said PGRS is collaborating closely with its component party of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) in Labuan, aiming to secure widespread acceptance among the island's diverse population.

He emphasised the party's commitment to working with PBS to achieve this goal.
