The United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Malay: Pertubuhan Kinabalu Progresif Bersatu; abbrev: UPKO) is a multiracial political party based in Sabah, Malaysia.[1] The party was rebranded from its previous party's name, United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation using the same UPKO acronym; which was a widely known Kadazan-Dusun-Murut based party in 2019.[2] The party had earlier been renamed once before in 1999 from its initial 1994 formation name of Sabah Democratic Party.[3] In August 2021, UPKO has officially joined the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition as a component party.[4]
