Sungai Lui is a state constituency in Negeri Sembilan under the Jelebu parliamentary constituency area, first contested in 1986 and comprising 11 polling districts as gazetted in July 2023 [1]. Mohd Razi holds a background in the education sector, as noted in his electoral profile [3]. He was conferred the Darjah Setia Bakti Negeri Sembilan (DBNS), which carries the title Datuk, by the Negeri Sembilan royal household [4]. During his time in the state assembly, he has been a vocal advocate on issues affecting the Orang Asli community within his constituency, including calls for improved agricultural road access to enable communities to bring their produce to market [4]. Mohd Razi represented BN in the 2013, 2018, and 2023 state elections for Sungai Lui, prevailing in each contest [1][5][6].

Known for

Mohd Razi Mohd Ali is known as a three-term ADUN for Sungai Lui under the UMNO/BN banner, having first won the seat in May 2013 and defended it through the 2018 and 2023 state elections [2][1].

Political positions

Based on his participation in the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly budget debates, Mohd Razi has publicly advocated for the state government to prioritise quality road access to Orang Asli agricultural areas, arguing that without such infrastructure, middlemen are able to underpay communities for produce including rubber, fruit, and petai [4]. His stated position links rural infrastructure improvement directly to economic empowerment of marginalised indigenous communities. He has also demonstrated a disposition of party loyalty and collective responsibility over personal ambition, publicly offering to give way to other party figures to contest Sungai Lui if the party leadership so decided, and stating ahead of PRN16 that he would not be resentful if not re-nominated [4][2].
