KOTA KINABALU: The Registrar of Societies has given its approval for 26 divisions of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) to be formed in Sabah and Labuan.
Party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin handed over the approval papers to Sabah Bersatu coordinator Datuk Hajiji Noor at a ceremony in Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) on Sunday.
Hajiji, a Sulaman assemblyman, was among the nine assemblymen and five Member of Parliament (MPs) who left Umno and joined Bersatu.
The entry of the party into Sabah was launched earlier by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on April 6.
