Overview
The People's Justice Party (Malay: Parti Keadilan Rakyat, PKR) is a centrist political party in Malaysia formed in 2003 by a merger of the National Justice Party and the older Malaysian People's Party.
Keadilan was led by Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
On 14 April 2008, Anwar celebrated his official return to the political stage, as his ban from public office expires a decade after he was sacked as deputy prime minister.
In the 2008 elections, Keadilan won 31 seats in Parliament, with DAP and Pas making substantial gains as well with 28 seats and 23 seats respectively.
PKR emphasises on social-justice and anti-corruption as its main struggle.
