Anwar Ibrahim

Malaysia's king named reformist opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim as the country's Prime Minister on Thursday, ending days of uncertainties after divisive general elections produced a hung Parliament.

Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah said Anwar will be sworn in later on Thurday. Anwar's Alliance of Hope led Saturday's election with 82 seats, short of the 112 needed for a majority.

Former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's right-leaning National Alliance won 73 seats, with its ally Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party emerging as the biggest single party with 49 seats.
