Pakatan Harapan will be able to form the federal government after winning the 14th General Election (GE14) with a simple majority of 113 out of 222 seats
The announcement on the tally was made by the Election Commission (EC) at 4.55am.
The victory ensures that the coalition forms the federal government, ending Barisan Nasional's unbroken 61-year rule.
The Barisan Nasional coalition won 133 seats in parliament during the 13th General Election that was held in 2013.
The PH coalition announced earlier this year that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is their prime ministerial candidate of choice while Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail will be Mahathir's deputy if PH wins GE14
