Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, leader of Pakatan Harapan, currently leads a coalition government consisting of PH, BN, GPS, GRS, WARISAN and other minor parties.[1] Perikatan Nasional (PN) and the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) currently sit as the opposition.[2][3]
The 2022 general election saw PN make gains primarily in the northern peninsular states of Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu in what was dubbed as the Green Wave.[4][5][6][7][8][9] It resulted in a hung parliament for the first time in Malaysian electoral history.
