Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has scored a historic victory in the country's general election, reported British Broadcasting Corporation.
The opposition alliance led by Mahathir had won 115 seats, over the threshold of 112 seats needed to form a government.
Mahathir, 92, defeated the governing Barisan Nasional coalition, which has been in power for more than 60 years, said the BBC report.
He came out of retirement to take on his former protege, Najib Razak.
"We are not seeking revenge, we want to restore the rule of law," Mahathir told report-ers, according to the BBC report.
Mahathir said he hoped a swearing-in ceremony would be held on Thursday. Mahathir will become the oldest elected leader in the world, the report added.
