Asmaiza binti Ahmad is a Malaysian politician who served as Member of the Perlis State Executive Council (EXCO) in the Barisan Nasional (BN) state administration under former Menteri Besar Azlan Man from May 2017 to May 2018 for the first term and from June 2018 to the collapse of the BN state administration in November 2022 for the second term as well as Member of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Chuping from May 2013 to November 2022. She is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the BN coalition.
On 12 May 2017, Asmaiza was appointed as the Perlis State EXCO Member for the first term in charge of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives, Consumerism, Transport, Development of Region, Corridor, New Growth Areas and New Town by Menteri Besar Azlan to replace Sabry Ahmad.[1] [2]
On 13 June 2018, Asmaiza was reappointed as the Perlis State EXCO Member for the second term in charge of Rural Development, Poverty Eradication, Development of New Growth Centre, Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage by Menteri Besar Azlan.[3] [4]
On 22 November 2022, Asmaiza lost her position after the BN state administration collapsed following the huge defeat of BN in the 2022 Perlis state election that wiped BN out of the assembly.
In the 2013 Perlis state election, Asmaiza made her electoral debut after being nominated by BN to contest for the Chuping state seat. She won the seat and was elected into the Perlis State Legislative Assembly as the Chuping MLA for the first term after narrowly defeating Wan Mohamad Fishaal Wan Daud of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) by a majority of 2,876 votes.
In the 2018 Perlis state election, Asmaiza was renominated by BN to defend the Chuping seat. She defended the seat and was reelected as the Chuping MLA for the second term after defeating Poziyah Hamza of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Mohd Ali Puteh of Gagasan Sejahtera (GS) by a majority of 1,367 votes.
In the 2022 Perlis state election, Asmaiza was renominated by BN to defend the Chuping seat. She lost the seat and was not reelected as the Chuping MLA after losing to Saad Seman of Perikatan Nasional (PN) by a minority of 2,420 votes.
