After the last general election on 19th Nov 2022, since no single party has enough of seats to form the government, Anwar formed the coalition government by joining Pakatan Harapan 82 seats with Barisan Nasional 30 seats, Gabungan Parti Sarawak 23 seats and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah 6 seats, totalling 141 seats.

Anwar has been Prime Minister for slightly more than 3 years. In less than 2 years Malaysia will have to hold the next G.E.

Can Anwar win again to be P.M.?

There are signs of dissatisfaction among UMNO members within the coalition government, though the extent varies by faction and region. Some UMNO leaders have openly expressed frustration, while others remain committed to the unity government.

Evidence of UMNO Discontent

Internal Strains: UMNO has warned coalition allies against poaching its members, even delivering a protest note in August 2025 to signal growing tension.

UMNO’s protest note in August 2025 was a formal warning to coalition partners. The note emphasized that such actions could seriously strain relations within the Unity Government.

Based on the above facts, UMNO will not join Pakatan Harapan in the coming G.E.

Under the political situation, Anwar should invite Perikatan Nasional to form a strong coalition and call a snap election.

In the last G.E. Pakatan Harapan won 82 seats and Perikatan Nasional won 73 seats, the new coalition will have 155 seats to fight in the snap election. The new coalition will most likely win and Anwar can be Prime Minister again.

I wrote 2 books. My first book “Road Map to Vision 2020” was launched by former Finance Minister Tengku Razzali’. My second book “New Road Map To A Developed Nation” was launched by Anwar in January 2021 just before he became Prime Minister.

As shown below Kula, Kit Siang and I campaigned for Anwar in the last general election.

Pakatan Harapan (PH) leader Anwar Ibrahim has scored a comfortable win in the much-watched battle for the Tambun Parliament seat, marking a successful electoral debut from Perak.

Datuk Seri Anwar, 75, won a four cornered fight in Tambun with an unofficial majority of 3,736 votes, comfortably defeating his closest challenger Ahmad Faizal Azumu, a federal minister, former Perak Menteri Besar, and rival Perikatan Nasional (PN) deputy chairman.
