Malaysia Election: Now there are chances of formation of a manipulative government in Malaysia. No party seems to be getting a clear majority in the general elections. In this election, the opposition parties were led by Anwar Ibrahim, while in front of them was a coalition led by former PM Muhyiddin Yasin. There was a close fight between the two, but neither got enough seats to form the government.
In the election survey also, Anwar Ibrahim’s alliance got the maximum number of seats. The chances of a hung parliament were expressed in the survey as well. The ruling United Malays National Organization (UMNL) has been badly rejected by the people. Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yakub lagged behind in his traditional stronghold. His alliance got only 30 seats.
