SHAH ALAM - Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun confirms that he has sent a letter to the leader and the secretary general of the party that won the majority of seats in the 15th General Election (GE15) to form a new government.
Azhar said the political party were told to submit names of parties and independent MPs to join the coalition.
He further said the coalition needed 112 seats to form federal government through a statutory declaration by the party leader.
"They were also asked to name one member of the Dewan Rakyat in their coalition entrusted to be the 10th prime minister through a statutory declaration letter from each of the Dewan Rakyat member.
"The documents needs to be submitted to Istana Negara by Monday, Nov 21, 2022, before 2pm," he said through the statement, today.
Azhar explained the letter was sent to uphold the order of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri-ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
The King was previously reported to have ordered that the heads of political parties and party coalitions with a majority of seats submit the names of the prime minister candidates to Istana Negara before 2pm on Monday.
Yesterday's polls results showed no political party had a simple majority to form a new government, causing a hung parliament.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) won 82 seats, followed by Perikatan Nasional (PN) with 73 seats and BN (30) seats.
Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) won 22 seats, Parti Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) with six seats, Warisan (three seats), independent (two seats) and Parti Bangsa Malaysia (one seat).
