who now has the potential to be kingmaker. i don't think i. i am quite unsettled because now the alliance of every touch on national are going neck. and i am hoping for the best for the new government, i just hope that they are all united because in the end it's really about the country is for the people and it's for the future. some analysts say it's possible the same parties that were in power before parliament was dissolved, could work together again, which may upset some voters as this alliance would include various on national or the national front, whose leaders are tainted by corruption. the most important thing is for break or the national donnie choose or appoint candidates or by dimensions that don't have any issues with corruption. yup. plenty of those. and it can be part of the government. and the 2nd part of it is that we got the national, we'll have to remain convicted. boy, and did he get the dedication to was prosecuting boost with corruption charges?

one winner in this election is the malaysian islamic party, a partner in the national alliance. it's now the largest party in parliament by monday afternoon, malaysians should know who the new prime minister will be. the palace has issued the statesman asking leaders of the political parties with the most seats and heads of the major coalitions to nominate a lawmaker who they think is able to command the confidence of the majority in parliament. king also done up de la, has had a hand in determining the prime minister before in 2020. after interviewing m peace, the monarch chose william in yassin and went, his administration collapsed a year later. the king chose a successor, like a speak live now to florence, who is in their qual, lumper for sir supplies. are we any closer than to knowing who the new prime minister would be? well, there is an expectation that an announcement will be made by the palace this

afternoon. that's happened in the past before. when the, when the monarch match with members of parliament to determine their level of support for candidates to be prime minister. and that's expected to happen again. now we've heard from leaders of the 2 coalitions that scott, the most seats in parliament, we'd in yassin who leads break and then master now or the national alliance. now he's issued a statement to say that he's got enough and piece to support in his statement suggest that these members of parliament may belong to parties who are not aligned with am break at the national or the national alliance, but yet are willing to give their support to him. we've also heard from the leader of the opposition on why it brought him. he leads the alliance of hope. now we know that he's having his party is having a meeting with the national front. but together these 2 parties still will not have enough seats to make up the majority in parliament, but these are the 2 main contenders to be the next prime minister of malaysia. and

a mature democracy that the country is moving from away from a one party rule to multiple parties. and it's also an indication of just how strong the other coalitions is that there is now a contender for different, for voters to choose from their different parties, different coalition for voters to choose from. rather than just to main viable parties, the opposition and the national front. so you know, the political instability is unusual. it is unusual for malaysia, but there's also optimism that it will be settled. it really depends on the sort of coalition that is formed after hopefully monday afternoon. but there is an optimism that this is a sign that it's a democracy that's maturing, right? we'll wait to see what happens. floss louis life was there in qual, input that still ahead on our 0 could one of the world's best footballs. finally, bring home the work up will take you to leonor massey's home town in argentina and
