Campaigning for Malaysia’s general elections has formally started in a highly competitive race that will see the world’s longest-serving coalition seeking to regain its dominance four years after a shocking electoral loss.
More than 21 million Malaysians will cast ballots to fill 222 seats in federal Parliament and choose representatives for three state legislatures.
Anwar, escorted by drummers and supporters waving party flags, filed his nomination in Tambun in central Pekan state — a new seat for him where he will face off with the incumbent, who had defected from his alliance. The Perikatan Nasional , or National Alliance, is led by former UMNO leader Muhyiddin Yassin. His Bersatu party was a part of Anwar’s group in 2018 polls but defected to form a new shaky government with UMNO that was riven with rivalry.
