Anwar Ibrahim claims that Pakatan Harapan has enough seats to form the next government due to his lead in the Malaysian elections. However, Anwar has not revealed who his coalition is.
Anwar Ibrahim led the Pakatan Harapan alliance, the multiethnic coalition that ousted the Barisan Nasional (BN) from power in 2018.
Anwar has had his eye on the prime minister post for more than two decades, since he served in Mahathir Mohamad’s government in the 1990s as deputy prime minister and finance minister. (T/RE1)
