The People's Justice Party (Malay: Parti Keadilan Rakyat , Chinese: 人民公正党; pinyin: Rénmín Gōngzhèng Dǎng, Tamil: மக்கள் நீதி கட்சி 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. 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. The party enjoys strong support from urban states such as Selangor and Penang.
