Biography

Muhammad Hakimi Hamzi bin Mohd Hayat is a Malaysian politician serving as the Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN, State Assemblyman) for N.08 Titi Serong in Perak, representing Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition [1]. He was elected to the Perak State Legislative Assembly at the 15th General Election (PRU15) held on 19 November 2022, defeating three-cornered competition from Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidates with 13,565 votes and a majority of 5,274 [2]. The Titi Serong constituency, designated N.08, is divided into 15 polling districts and had 35,900 registered voters at PRU15 [3]. Within PAS's Perak youth wing, Pemuda PAS Perak, Hakimi was appointed Pengarah Pilihan Raya (Election Director) for the 2025–2027 term, reflecting his role in the party's electoral machinery for the state [4]. In the Perak State Legislative Assembly, he sits as an opposition assemblyman, as PN — which won 26 of 59 seats at PRU15 — did not form the state government; the government is instead led by Menteri Besar Saarani Mohamad under a BN-PH coalition [5]. Hakimi has been active in assembly debates, including raising procedural motions and questioning state government expenditure and policy [6]. His father is recorded in the SPR Federal Gazette as Mohd Hayat bin Mokhtar [1]. No personal biographical details such as date of birth, educational background, or prior career have been confirmed from allowlist sources.
