Summary:Since independence in 1957, Malaysia has had a dominant-party electoral regime led by the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and its multiracial political coalition, the Alliance, now called the Barisan Nasional (BN). A new coalition, Pakatan Harapan (PH), came to power in 2018, but its administration collapsed in 2020. Coalitions have fractured and individual parties have factionalised since 2018. Malaysia’s political system is headed towards greater unpredictability.
