Why Did the 2008 Permatang Pauh By-Election Matter?
Wan Azizah's Resignation, Anwar's Return to Parliament, and the Unfulfilled September 16 Takeover
In 2008, Wan Azizah resigned from the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat, and Anwar subsequently won the by-election with 31,195 votes, returning to Parliament and becoming the opposition leader. However, his announced plan to form a federal government on September 16 did not materialize.
