Political career

Member of the Perlis State Executive Council (since 2022)

In the 2022 Perlis state election, the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) suffered from huge defeat and wipeout in the assembly as none of its candidates won a state seat in the elections after losing all the 10 seats it previously held to PN. The elections ended 63-year rule of BN in the state, saw the first ever transition of power in the history of the state and replaced BN with PN as the ruling coalition and dominant political force in the state as PN won 14 out of 15 state seats and therefore two-thirds supermajority of the assembly. Therefore, State Chairman of PN of Perlis, State Commissioner of PAS of Perlis and Sanglang MLA Mohd Shukri replaced Azlan Man as the new and 10th Menteri Besar of Perlis and formed a new PN state administration on 22 November 2022. On 25 November 2022, Razali was appointed as the Perlis State EXCO Member in charge of Agriculture, Agro-based Industries, Rural Development, Poverty Eradication, Plantation Industries and Commodities by Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri.
