KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has arrived at Istana Negara for an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong that was scheduled after he claimed he had the backing of a majority of MPs to form a new government.

Anwar, who is PKR president, had said recently that the King, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, had consented to his request for the audience.
