Political career

2020 defection and collapse of the Kedah PH state administration

On 12 May 2020, Azman and Sidam MLA Robert Ling Kui Ee of PH defected from PKR and became independent MLAs in support of PN, leading to the resignation of Mukhriz Mahathir as Menteri Besar and collapse of the PH state administration led by Mukhriz as PH had lost the majority support in the assembly required to form the government after both of them withdrew support for PH who had only a slim majority in the assembly. Following that, PH returned to the opposition while PN and PN became the government with the appointment of Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor of PN as the new Menteri Besar on 17 May 2020. Sanusi then reappointed him as EXCO member.[1][2]
