The People's Justice Party (Malay: Parti Keadilan Rakyat often known simply as KEADILAN or PKR) is a centrist multiracial political party in Malaysia formed in 2003 by a merger of the National Justice Party and the older Malaysian People's Party (PRM). Keadilan was led by Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and increased its parliamentary representation from 1 seat to 31 seats in the 2008 general election until the five-year political ban imposed on former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was lifted on 14 April 2008. Now the party is part of a coalition that formed the government after a 60-year-long tenure by the Barisan Nasional (BN).
