He sat in Parliament as a member of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) in the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition.[1] After leaving Parliament he joined 'Parti Ummah Sejahtera Malaysia', a PAS splinter movement formed out of concerns that the party was being insufficiently cooperative with its coalition allies, the Democratic Action Party and the People's Justice Party.[2] In 2015, he joined Parti Amanah Negara (AMANAH), a component party of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) new opposition coalition.
