Mr. Anwar, who was until now the main leader of the opposition, is appointed "tenth Prime Minister of Malaysia", said the Royal Palace in a press release. He was to be sworn in Thursday at 5 p.m. (9 a.m. GMT).
Anwar Ibrahim thus realizes at 75 his dream of becoming Prime Minister, which he has cherished for a quarter of a century and which crowns a turbulent political career.
Pakatan Harapan (Alliance of Hope), the multi-ethnic reformist coalition led by Mr. Anwar, achieved the best result in Saturday's legislative elections with 82 seats. But it remains far from an absolute majority, in a Parliament of 222 seats.
The King of Malaysia, Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah, summoned Mr. Anwar and former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to the Palace on Wednesday, whose Perikatan Nasional (National Alliance) party came second in the elections with 73 seats. According to Mr Muhyiddin, the ruler had asked the two men to form a "unity government".
Perikatan Nasional is backed by the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), which advocates strict application of Sharia law.
Anwar Ibrahim also began negotiations on Monday with the party that has been in power until now, Barisan Nasional. Led by the United Malay National Organization (Umno), this formation came far behind with 30 seats, its worst electoral result since the country's independence in 1957.
The King of Malaysia has the discretion to appoint a Prime Minister who he believes has the support of the majority of MPs.
- Waltz of Prime Ministers -
Malaysia, predominantly Muslim but also including significant Chinese and Indian minorities, is a constitutional monarchy with a unique system of throne rotation every five years among the rulers of Malaysia's nine states.
For four years, the country has been shaken by political turbulence and a waltz of governments, which has led to three Prime Ministers succeeding each other in four years.
After more than sixty years in power, Umno was heavily punished at the ballot box and ousted from power in 2018, marking the first alternation in the country's history.
The then Prime Minister Najib Razak, implicated in the embezzlement of several billion dollars from the sovereign wealth fund 1MDB, is currently serving a twelve-year prison sentence.
Umno had returned to power with a narrow majority in 2021. It was in the hope of strengthening its grip on power that Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob dissolved parliament and called snap elections, originally scheduled for September 2023. But Unmo still suffers from its association with the vast corruption scandal 1MDB, a fund that was supposed to contribute to the country's development.
