Political career

A vice-president of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) from 2011 to 2015, he was considered the leader of the party's liberal wing.^[1] He was expelled from the party for alleged misconduct on 6 May 2016.^[2]

As a PAS member, Husam represented Salor (2008-2018) and Kijang (2004-2008) in the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly. He was also the member of parliament for Kubang Kerian (1999–2004). His time as a member of parliament brought him some prominence, and he received the accolade of "Newsmaker of the Year 2003" from Malaysiakini for his tenacity to bring up issues of public interest.

In the 2018 Malaysian general election, he contested and failed to win the Kota Bharu parliamentary and Salor state seats as a member of the National Trust Party (AMANAH).^[3]

He was appointed to serve a three-year term as senator, lasting from September 2018 to September 2021.^[4]

Husam resigned as vice-president of AMANAH in 2020 amid rumours of a disagreement between him and party leader Mohamad Sabu.^[5]
