The United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) is a political party based in Sabah, Malaysia. It is an ethnically-based party striving to voice the rights and advance the development of Kadazan-Dusun and Murut population of Sabah and the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia. ==History== The party started as "Parti Demokrat Sabah" (PDS), which was founded by Bernard Dompok and other leaders who split from Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) soon after the Sabah state election, 1994 to join the Barisan Nasional coalition. PBS had won a majority in the Sabah State Legislative Assembly, but the defections allowed Barisan Nasional to form government. Part of the enticement offered by Barisan Nasional to the defectors was the promise of a rotating chief ministry, which Dompok held from 1998 to 1999. The defection from PBS damaged the new party at the 1995 federal election, in which it won no seats. The party was renamed as UPKO in 1999, taking the same acronym as the United Pasokmomogun Kadazan Organisation, which was formed and dissolved in the 1960s. The party won three federal seats at the 1999 election, and four at the 2004 and 2008 polls. In 2009, the party opened four divisions in Perak, Peninsular Malaysia, seeking a foothold among local Orang Asli indigenous people.〔()〕 In the Malaysian general election, 2013, the party was reduced from four to three federal seats and from six to four state assembly seats. Dompok lost his federal seat to the People's Justice Party. The following year he resigned as the party's president, a position he had held for 20 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
