He was set to succeed Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Prime Minister after the two worked together to win the 2018 general election (GE14), which ousted BN after six decades in office.

However, Mahathir continually postponed the handover, causing splits within the ruling coalition and finally leading to its demise.

A quick recap of the GE15 results: PH secured 82 seats in parliament, making it the biggest bloc, while Perikatan Nasional (PN) won an astonishing 73 seats at the federal level and BN, who had previously ruled the country for 60 years, only managed to win 30 seats.

Congratulations, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim!
