The United Sabah National Organisation (New) (Malay: Parti Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Sabah Bersatu (Baru); abbrev: USNO (Baru)^{[nb 2]}) is a political party in Sabah, Malaysia.^[3]^[4] The party was formed in 2013 with the aim of reviving the long-buried struggle of USNO (Lama). The establishment of the new USNO Party was inspired by the struggle of Tun Mustapha Harun from the dissolved old USNO party in favor of the peninsula-based UMNO. This revived political party is also one of the main component parties of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition (GRS) since March 2022.

The new United Sabah National Organisation (USNO Baru) was one of 20 new political parties approved nationwide by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) in 2013. It was the successor of the old United Sabah National Organisation (USNO), founded by Sabah's third chief minister and first governor Tun Datu Mustapha Harun in 1961 and deregistered by the RoS in 1996.^[5]

Leadership

Ibrahim Linggam was elected as party president in November 2018, replacing protem president Dulli Tiaseh and its office-bearers, ending five years of hiatus due to an internal squabble over who among three of its leaders should be president since the revived party's inception in 2013.^[6]^[7]

The party contested in the 2020 state elections, failing to win a single seat.

Former national parliament Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia was elected party president in February 2021.^[8]

Affiliation

On 2021, USNO made an application to join the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah alliance.^[9]

On 9 May 2022, the United Sabah National Organisation (USNO) has been accepted as one of the new component parties of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition.^[10]
