Malaysia's Democratic Action Party voted on Sunday to remain in Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's cabinet, providing him with a crucial reprieve following recent electoral setbacks and internal party turmoil. The DAP, the largest component party in Anwar's ruling coalition, held the vote during its conference in Putrajaya, where 1,857 out of 2,099 delegates supported staying in the administration.

This decision strengthens Anwar's leadership position and ensures continued stability for his government, which has faced challenges from both opposition forces and dissent within his own coalition. The DAP's continued participation signals commitment to the current administration despite political pressures.

The vote results were announced at a briefing, confirming the party's official stance to maintain its role in the federal government. As the biggest party in the ruling coalition, the DAP's support is essential for Anwar's policy agenda and legislative initiatives to proceed smoothly.
