KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) Nov,19 - Malaysians voted in the general election on Saturday after polls failed to predict a clear winner.
The coalition, led by veteran opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, is expected to win most of the seats in parliament but will fall short of the majority required to form a government.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's ruling Barisan coalition and his separate bloc led byPrime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin are the other leading candidates. Muhyiddin's allies were subordinate partners in his Ismail coalition, and the two were once again able to work together to stop Anwar.
Without a clear winner, political uncertainty could persist as Malaysia faces slowing economic growth and rising inflation.
It has had three prime ministers in as many years, including 97-year-old Mahathir Mohamed, who ruled Malaysia for more than two decades during two stints in power and has roused himself for one last fight, though he is not considered a leading contender.
If Anwar clinches the top job, it would cap a remarkable journey for a politician who in 25 years has gone from heir apparent to the premiership to a political prisoner convicted of sodomy to the country's leading opposition figure.
