Politics
Dzulkefly was elected to Parliament in the 2008 election, winning the seat of Kuala Selangor, which had been held by the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.[1] In January 2010, he publicly supported the controversial decision of the Malaysian High Court to allow a Catholic publication to use the term "Allah".[2]
He lost his parliamentary seat in the 2013 election, tallying 460 votes fewer than the Barisan Nasional candidate Irmohizam Ibrahim.[1]
Dzulkefly is a prominent member of the moderate, or "Erdogan" (after the Turkish politician), faction of PAS. In 2013, despite the loss of his parliamentary seat, he was re-elected to the party's central committee.[3]
