The race to become Malaysia’s next prime minister has intensified ahead of the king’s deadline for lawmakers to name their preferred candidate. The king has ruled out a new general election because of the pandemic.
Malaysia opposition leaders Anwar Ibrahim, center, and Lim Guan Eng, left, leave National Palace after meeting the King in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Tuesday, Aug. 17, 2021. Malaysia's king is calling for an end to political bickering as he begins the process of selecting a new prime minister following the resignation of Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin Yassin, who resigned as prime minister on Monday, has been appointed caretaker leader until a successor is found. Local media said the country’s Malay Rulers will meet Friday at the palace, where the king is likely to discuss the lawmakers’ choice. Ismail has started to lobby for support even before Muhyiddin stepped down. He appeared to be the frontrunner for the job after UMNO’s 38 lawmakers reportedly agreed to set aside differences at a meeting late Tuesday and back him as their candidate.
