woke up today to a hung Parliament. This happens when any party gets the most votes and seats, but fails to secure a majority of the seats.
In a hung Parliament, it is not really possible for the King to know who will command the confidence of the majority of the members of the Dewan. The role of such conventions as an integral part of our constitutional construct has been recognised by our higher courts. In a decision involving the 2009 tussle as to who could continue to be the mentri besar of Perak, the Court of Appeal spoke thus:
What convention then governs a hung Parliament situation? The party with the highest number of votes will first be asked by the King to form the government. It is then up to that party to get any other party to agree to join it in a coalition, and thus secure sufficient number of seats to secure a majority of the members of the Dewan.
