Why this matters to you

As ADUN for N26 Rantau Abang and a Deputy Member of the Terengganu State Executive Council, Mohd Fadhli Rahmi participates in the state government body that shapes policies directly affecting residents of Rantau Abang — including land use, local infrastructure, and community development in the Dungun district (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terengganu_State_Executive_Council). Because PN holds all 32 seats in the Terengganu DUN with no elected opposition, EXCO members including Deputy EXCO carry additional significance as the only institutional check on executive action at the state level (Source: sinarharian.com.my/article/273531). Residents of Rantau Abang who wish to engage on state-level matters — from rural development to religious affairs — must do so through this MP's constituency office, as no opposition representative serves the seat.

Summary

Mohd Fadhli Rahmi bin Zulkifli is a PAS politician serving as the Terengganu State Legislative Assembly member (ADUN) for N26 Rantau Abang since August 2023, following PN's historic clean sweep of all 32 DUN seats in that year's state election. He also holds the position of Deputy Member of the Terengganu State Executive Council (EXCO) under Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar. Note: He holds a state-level seat, not a federal parliamentary seat.
