KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 20 <\/strong>\u2013 Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin held a meeting today with the top leaders of two parties and said a new federal government will be formed soon in the wake of a hung parliament after the 15th General Election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhyiddin made the statement in posts on his Facebook and Twitter sites after meeting with PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, whose party is a PN component, and Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. The two leaders had called on Muhyiddin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Negotiations are also being held with other like-minded parties and independent Members of Parliament. God willing, the (new) federal government will be formed very soon,”<\/em> he said in his posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also uploaded a picture of the meeting between him and the two other leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n

GE15 ended in a hung parliament for the first time in the election history of Malaysia, with no clear winner to form the new federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PN, comprising Bersatu \u2013 of which Muhyiddin is the president, PAS and Gerakan, had won 73 seats, short of the 112 seats needed for a simple majority in the 222-seat Dewan Rakyat. GPS had won 22 seats, the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition, 82; Barisan Nasional (BN), 30; Gerakan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), six; Warisan, three; Independents, two; and Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) and Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM), one seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier today, Muhyiddin, who is a former prime minister, said PN was ready to establish cooperation with any party that can accept the principles and struggle of the coalition in forming a clean and stable government, but not PH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
