Homeland Solidarity Party

Homeland Solidarity Party (abbreviated: STAR; 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. 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. 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. 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).
