The son of the country's second prime minister and nephew of the thirdMr Najib is regarded by many Malaysians as political blue blood and seems to have been destined for the premiership from an early age.
A British-trained economisthe first entered parliament at the age of 23 - becoming the youngest MP in Malaysian history - and quickly rose to prominence.
He has held numerous cabinet postsincluding finance and defenceand was most recently deputy to outgoing Prime
Minister Abdullah Badawi.

Mr Najib pledged radical reforms and a more transparent government. He said that one of his priorities would be to close a widening ethnic and religious divideafter Malaysia's ethnic minorities shifted towards the opposition in large numbers in the 2008 pollsfearing their rights were being eroded.
But his rise to power has been marked by a government crackdown on the resurgent oppositionwith allegations that strong-arm tactics are being used to stifle political dissent.
His predecessorAbdullah Ahmad Badawiresigned as prime minister in April 2009 after the governing coalition suffered a heavy defeat in a general election in March 2008.
