KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA —
Malaysia's political parties must each present the name of a lawmaker it thinks has the majority support in the lower house of parliament, the palace said Sunday after no coalition secured a majority in Saturday's general election.
The parties must submit names before 2 p.m. (0600 GMT) on Monday, the palace said in a statement.
The country's rival blocs are seeking support from others to build a majority alliance to form a government. The king can appoint as prime minister a lawmaker he believes will command a majority in parliament.
