# Anwar is sworn in as Malaysia’s tenth prime minister

Date: 2022

## The fact

On 24 November 2022 Anwar took the oath as tenth prime minister before Yang di-Pertuan Agong [Al-Sultan Abdullah](/people/al-sultan-abdullah) at Istana Negara at 5.06 pm, after a Rulers’ meeting. Articles 40(2)(a) and 43(2)(a) were cited. A 2027 ballot is not this page’s completed Fact. As of 27 August 2026 he remains in office.

## Context

GE15 hung. Muhyiddin disputed the numbers. The King appointed. Chief Justice Tengku Maimun attested. He did not write a Bank Negara rate that afternoon.

GE15 is the parent contest. Confidence 19 December is a child majority row. Diesel 2024 is a later policy child.

The Prime Minister of Malaysia advises the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, chairs Cabinet, and is appointed under Articles 40 and 43 of the Federal Constitution. He does not write Bank Negara Malaysia policy rates, does not sit as every state menteri besar, and does not author a United States or China statute. A 1999–2018 prosecution or pardon cluster is not a 2023 subsidy. Allegation is not a completed personal conviction unless a court so held. A 2027 general election is not this page’s completed Fact. As of 27 August 2026 he remains prime minister.

## Evidence and sources

Prime Minister's Office Malaysia carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed royal appointment after a hung parliament records constitutional succession, remaining later confidence named.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 24 November 2022 Istana Negara oath, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later GDP coefficient from 5.06 pm, or that 2027 was thereby cancelled.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He took the oath. Coalition partners supplied seats. The Chief Justice attested.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Anwar is sworn in as Malaysia’s tenth prime minister, not a later speech about Anwar is sworn in as Malaysia’s tenth prime minister.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Anwar is sworn in as Malaysia’s tenth prime minister on 2022-11-24 is not a licence to treat every later Prime Minister's Office Malaysia communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Anwar is sworn in as Malaysia’s tenth prime minister into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The King appointed. He took the oath. Coalition partners supplied seats. The Chief Justice attested. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
