OccupationPolitician

Ahmad Bashah bin Md Hanipah is a Malaysian politician. He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party in the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition. He was the Menteri Besar of Kedah from 4 February 2016 to 10 May 2018.[2] He was appointed as Menteri Besar after Mukhriz Mahathir agreed to step down after losing majority support in the state assembly.[3][4][5][6] Ahmad Bashah was sworn in as Menteri Besar of Kedah the day after Mukhriz resigned, on February 4, 2016.

Following his appointment as Menteri Besar, Ahmad Bashah resigned as the Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism and as a Senator.[7]

In the 2018 election, Ahmad Bashah failed to retain the Suka Menanti state seat when he lost to Zamri Yusuf, of the People's Justice Party (PKR), in a three-corner fight with Mohd Sabri Omar of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS).
