KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) seems to have further strengthened its position as the dominant political outfit in the state following the recent admission of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah (Harapan Rakyat) into the coalition, says analysts.

However, some also cautioned that this could be a double-edged sword for GRS, which was led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
