Razali was elected to federal Parliament in the 2004 election.[1] In April 2009, he was appointed as Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports in the government of Najib Tun Razak.[2] In the 2013 election he was returned to Parliament. His margin of victory was reduced significantly by a drop in ethnic Chinese support for Barisan Nasional: the Muar electorate was approximately 35% Chinese.[3][4] He remained a deputy minister after the election, although was shifted to the Prime Minister's Department.[5] Later in 2013 he vacated his post as the deputy chief of UMNO's youth wing due to his age,[6] and won election to the 25-member Supreme Council of the full party.[7]
