2018 Malaysian general election

The 2018 Malaysian general election, held on May 9, 2018, was a historic vote that ended the 61-year rule of the Barisan Nasional coalition, led by UMNO. Voters chose representatives for the federal parliament and state legislatures, leading to a significant shift in power. The opposition coalition, Pakatan Harapan, campaigned on promises of reform, transparency, and tackling corruption. They won a majority of seats, resulting in Mahathir Mohamad becoming Prime Minister again. The election was seen as a push for change, accountability, and greater democratic space in Malaysia.
