Amran bin Ab Ghani (born 12 August 1973) is a Malaysian politician,and a former Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Tanah Merah constituency in Kelantan from 2008 to 2013,sitting as a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR) in the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition. [1]
Amran was elected to the Tanah Merah seat in the 2008 election,defeating the incumbent Shaari Hassan of the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition. [2] Shaari alleged that members of UMNO (his own party) sabotaged his campaign. [3] Amran did not recontest the seat in the 2013 election. Instead,he shifted to the state of KG Sat to contest the State Assembly seat of Paloh,losing to UMNO's long-serving incumbent Norzula Mat Diah. Some local PKR members objected to Amran being parachuted into the state as a candidate and publicly supported Norzula instead. [4] [5]
