It was the first time in the country's history that the election results ended with a hung Parliament when no party or coalition gained a simple majority to form the Federal government.
GE15 witnessed the results of PH obtaining 82 seats, PN (73), BN (30), GPS (23), Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (six), Warisan (three), independent (two) while Parti Bangsa Malaysia and Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) each had one seat.
The order of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong was held and the result of negotiations between the parties agreed and supported the formation of a unity government led by PH.
