Political career

Member of the Johor State Legislative Assembly (since 2023)

2023 Simpang Jeram by-election

In the 2023 Simpang Jeram by-election held on 9 September 2023 due to the vacancy of the state seat as a result of the death of its MLA Salahuddin Ayub on 23 July 2023, Nazri made his electoral debut after being nominated by PH to contest for the state seat. [1] [2] He won the seat and was elected into the Johor State Legislative Assembly as the Simpang Jeram MLA for the first term after defeating Mohd Mazri Yahya of Perikatan Nasional (PN) and independent candidate S. Jeghanaathan by a majority of 3,514 votes. [3] Nazri attributed his victory to the hard work and strong partnership as well as cooperation between the PH and Barisan Nasional (BN) election machineries. [4] Before and after his election as the Simpang Jeram MLA, he recalled his experience with Salahuddin which the latter had advised him to always serve the Simpang Jeram people and always treat them as his family members. He also noted the advice of Salahuddin that strengthened his perseverance to champion the fate and welfare of the Simpang Jeram people and carry on the legacy of Salahuddin. Moreover, he shared that his experience working with Salahuddin made him more comfortable working behind the scenes, working more and talking less in helping to resolve issues faced by the Simpang Jeram people and improving their welfare and socioeconomics. In addition, he established his priorities as the Simpang Jeram MLA ranging from addressing flood and drainage issues, developing and providing more facilities for young people, looking into the welfare of the elderly, keeping the plans of Salahuddin on track to carrying on the implementation of the Rahmah initiative initiated by Salahuddin. [5] [6] [7] [8] On 14 September 2023, Nazri officially took his oath of office and was sworn in as the Simpang Jeram MLA. [9]
