Political career

Mustapa was elected to Parliament in the 1995 election for Jeli constituency, but was defeated for re-election in 1999.[5] He won back the seat in the 2004 election. In 2004 he was also elected to the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly for the Air Lanas seat.[6] He had been slated to become Chief Minister of Kelantan but BN failed to win a majority in the state Assembly.[7] He was re-elected in 2008 election. In 2004 election, he retained his parliamentary seat and again won the state seat of Air Lanas concurrently but with a slim 47 votes.

Mustapa was the former Minister for International Trade and Industry in the BN federal government. Previously, he has also held a number of other government portfolios, including Deputy Finance Minister,[8] Minister for Entrepreneur Development,[9] Minister in the Prime Minister's Department,[10] Minister for Higher Education,[11] and Minister for Agriculture and Agro-based Industry.[12] He was appointed to the Trade portfolio when Najib Razak became Prime Minister in April 2009.[3]

In the aftermath of BN's loss in the 2018 election and UMNO's own party election, Mustapa announced on 18 September 2018 that he has quit UMNO, citing disagreements with the party's current direction.[2] On the 27 October 2018, Mustapa joined BERSATU.

On 4 December 2018, Mustapa was elected chair of the Budget Select Committee.[13]
