He was a member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) and formerly Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalitions and the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the BN coalition. He left UMNO for BERSATU in 2018, left BERSATU and retired from politics in 2023.[2][3]

Political career
[edit]Mustapa was elected to Parliament in the 1995 election for Jeli constituency, but was defeated for re-election in 1999.[6] 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.[7] He had been slated to become Chief Minister of Kelantan but BN failed to win a majority in the state Assembly.[8] He was re-elected in 2008 election.

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.[3] On the 27 October 2018, Mustapa joined BERSATU.[14]
On 4 December 2018, Mustapa was elected chair of the Budget Select Committee.[15]
