In 3 years, Ismail would be Malaysia's **3rd prime minister**. According to the monarchy, he would be inaugurated after securing the approval of **114 parliament [members](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93420/how-many-images-we-are-supposed-to-add-in-our-gallery-section-after-membership-at-mindstick)**. This is more than **111 votes** required for a clear majority. Muhyiddin Yassin, Ismail's predecessor, retired after a little over 17 months in charge. Muhyiddin has lost his **majority in parliament** owing to internal fighting among his governing political alliance. \

The selection of Ismail, who served as **Muhyiddin's deputy [prime minister](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95525/dimitar-kovacevski-is-the-new-prime-minister-of-which-country),** would virtually keep the current coalition together. However, his ascension implies that **Malaysia's longest-governing** major group, the **United Malaysia National Organisation (UMNO)**, has returned to the premiership following a devastating setback in 2018.
