Azan bin Ismail (born 10 May 1965) is a Malaysian politician. He is a member of the State Assembly of Terengganu and was the Member of Parliament for the Indera Mahkota constituency in Pahang from 2008 to 2013. He is a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR) in the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition.[1]
Azan was elected to Parliament in the 2008 general election, defeating Salamon Ali Rizal Abdul Rahman of the governing Barisan Nasional coalition by 1,027 votes.[2] He was a member of PKR's leadership in Pahang before resigning in 2010, citing dissatisfaction with PKR's management.[3] He subsequently became the leader of PKR in the neighbouring state of Terengganu, and was elected to the State Assembly there, for the seat of Bandar, in 2013. His election unseated the incumbent Barisan Nasional assemblyman, Toh Chin Yaw, and was part of a swing to Pakatan Rakyat in the state that saw them win 15 of 32 assembly seats. Azan's move to Terengganu was carried out at the direction of PKR's national leader Anwar Ibrahim and involved Azan relinquishing renomination for his federal parliamentary seat.[4]
