Gerakan

The Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia is a liberal political party in Malaysia. Formed in 1968, Gerakan gained prominence in the 1969 general election when it defeated the ruling Alliance Party in Penang and won the majority of seats in Penang's state legislature. However, in 1972, Gerakan joined the Alliance Party, which later evolved into Barisan Nasional (BN) and contested the 1974 general election and subsequent elections as part of the ruling coalition. The party maintained representation in the Dewan Rakyat until the 2018 general election, when it lost all its seats amid BN's historic defeat. Gerakan subsequently left BN and has been a member of Perikatan Nasional (PN) since 2021.
