Education

Ahmad Zakiyuddin received his secondary education at SMS Sultan Mohamad Jiwa in the town of Sungai Petani in Kedah. [2] He then furthered his studies at the University of Salford, where he completed his A-Levels and pursued a tertiary course in civil engineering.

Engineering career

After graduating from the University of Salford, Ahmad Zakiyuddin worked in the Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR) for 10 years. [2] He was involved with numerous infrastructural projects, such as the township of Bandar Bertam Perdana in Northern Seberang Perai, as well as tertiary institutes and mosques in Southern Seberang Perai.

Political career

Ahmad Zakiyuddin's first foray into politics as an ordinary member of the People's Justice Party (PKR) came in the 2013 Penang state election. [5] He contested the Pinang Tunggal state constituency and lost in a straight fight against Roslan Saidin of Barisan Nasional (BN). [6]

In the 2018 Penang state election, Ahmad Zakiyuddin once again went up against Roslan Saidin, the incumbent State Assemblyman for Pinang Tunggal. This time he emerged victorious, winning the constituency by a slim margin of 127 votes, despite facing a three-cornered tussle for the seat. [7] Following his electoral win, Ahmad Zakiyuddin was appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister I of Penang by the state's Chief Minister, Chow Kon Yeow. [5] Ahmad Zakiyuddin assumed office as the Deputy Chief Minister I on 16 May, succeeding his party colleague, Mohd Rashid Hasnon, who became the elected Member of Parliament for Batu Pahat in Johor.
