Political career

Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (since 2023)

2023 Selangor state election

In the 2023 Selangor state election, Wan Dzahanurin made his electoral debut after being nominated by PN to contest for the Sungai Kandis state seat. Wan Dzahanurin won the seat and was elected to the Selangor State Legislative Assembly as the Sungai Kandis MLA for the first term after narrowly defeating Zawawi Mughni of Pakatan Harapan (PH) by a majority of only 167 votes.[1] However, his victory was controversial as the PH supporters protested about an alleged discrepancy and claimed that the unreturned ballots did not tally with the official results.[2] There was also initially a plan by PH to challenge by filing an election petition against the results[3] but subsequently PH did not go ahead with the plan.[4]
