The Sabah State Legislative Assembly (Kadazandusun: Langga' Tinukuan Pogun Sabah, Malay: Dewan Undangan Negeri Sabah) is a part of the legislature of Sabah, Malaysia, the other being the governor of Sabah. The assembly meets at the Sabah State Legislative Assembly Building at Likas in the state capital of Kota Kinabalu.
This unicameral legislature currently has 73 seats representing state constituencies elected through a first-past-the-post electoral system across the state.
Like at the federal level in Malaysia, Sabah uses a Westminster-style parliamentary government, in which members are elected to the legislative assembly through general elections, from which the chief minister and the cabinet are appointed based on majority support. The chief minister is head of government, while the governor acts as head of state. The largest party not forming the government is known as the official opposition, its leader being recognised as leader of the opposition by the speaker.
Members of the assembly refer to themselves as "Members of the Legislative Assembly" (MLAs) and sometimes as "state assemblymen".
The most recent assembly was elected on 26 September 2020. 73 members were elected into the 16th Sabah State Legislative Assembly. As permitted by the State Constitution, the Governor may add six more as nominated MLAs. Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition consisting of Direct Members of GRS Faction led by Armizan Mohd Ali and Juil Nuatim, Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (GAGASAN), Homeland Solidarity Party (STAR), United Sabah Party (PBS), United Sabah National Organisation (USNO), Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), Sabah People's Hope Party (PHRS), Love Sabah Party (PCS) and Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) re-formed the government on 25 May 2023 and confirmation on 10 July 2024 (Originally formed in September 2020 as informal coalition and registered in 2022 as official coalition).
