National Front (BN) remains the majority in the Dewan Negara and remains a part of a governing coalition in the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) led by the Alliance of Hope (PH). This is due to the constitutional nature that senators are not elected directly by the people, but instead elected by the State Legislative Assembly or appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which most of senatorial elections or appointments took place in the previous parliamentary term, i.e. the 14th Parliament.
The 15th Parliament is expected to start on 19 December 2022 when all members of the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) elected in the 15th general election will sit for the first time, according to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.[2]
