He is a member and the Deputy Division Chief of Gua Musang of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of Barisan Nasional (BN). He is also presently the only BN and UMNO State Leader of the Opposition.[1]

In a period after the 2023 state elections until the Nenggiri by-election, he was the sole BN and UMNO representatives in all four states ruled by Perikatan Nasional. Mohd Azmawi Fikri later joined him after he won the by-election. Both of them, together with Kota Lama MLA, Dr. Hafidzah Mustakim from PH-AMANAH, are the only three oppositions in the assembly.
