  • 2022 federal

  • 2018 federal

  • 2013 federal

Answer

In the 2022 Malaysian general election, UMNO suffered its worst defeat in history. The party, which had dominated Malaysian politics for decades, won only 26 seats in the 222-member parliament, a sharp decline from the 90 seats it had won in the previous election. This poor performance was attributed to several factors, including dissatisfaction with the party's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, corruption scandals, and internal divisions.
