Jeffrey Kitingan, the 1st President and Founder of STAR (Sabahan Solidarity Party)

Homeland Solidarity Party (abbreviated: STAR; Malay: Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku) is a Sabah-based political party. The party was founded on 1 July 2016 by Joseph Pairin Kitingan's brother Jeffrey.[4]. STAR Party was one of four founding parties of the United Sabah Alliance (USA) founded in 2016, United Alliance of Sabah (UAOS) founded in 2018, and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) founded in 2020, the other being the Sabah People's Ideas Party (GAGASAN), Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and United Sabah Party (PBS).

The party entered into an alliance with Barisan Nasional coalition after the 2018 Sabah state election and formed the state government.[5] However, the state government lost power after a number of BN state assemblymen left and lent their support for the Parti Warisan Sabah, which subsequently replaced the STAR-BN government with the support of Pakatan Harapan. STAR later returned to power as part of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition which was formed to contest the 2020 Sabah state snap-election. The party is actively researching and protecting the rights of the people of Sabah through the United Nations, UNESCO and also through all evidence documents.[3] The party left the Perikatan Nasional (PN) opposition coalition on 5 December 2022 due to its irrelevance as a PN component party after the party decided to support the federal coalition government led by Pakatan Harapan (PH) as a GRS component party and later followed by Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).[6]

## History[edit]

Homeland Solidarity Party or Malay: Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (StarSabah) was registered with the Registrar of Societies Malaysia ‘Registry of Societies’ on 30 June 2016.[7] The party was preceded by the State Reform Party (Abbreviated STAR Borneo) founded by the late Dr. Patau Rubis in 1996. The party then established a branch in Sabah in 2011. After the late Dr. Patau Rubis died on March 20, 2016, the Sarawak Branch STAR Borneo Party led by Lina Soo and the Sabah Branch STAR Borneo Party led by Datuk Jeffrey G. Kitingan have separated ideologies and fought in their respective directions. The Sarawak State Reform Party eventually branded their party as Parti Aspirasi Rakyat Sarawak with the abbreviation ASPIRASI while the Sabah State Reform Party branded their party as Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku with the abbreviation STAR. The STAR Borneo Sarawak Party registered the name change as the ASPIRASI Party in 2020 and was approved in 2021 while the STAR Borneo Sabah Party re-registered the party as the Homeland Solidarity Party on 30 June 2016 and was approved in October 2016.
