Political career

=Pre-parliamentary career=

In 2004, he won election to the executive council of UMNO's youth wing, by garnering the highest number of votes of any candidate.[http://202.188.124.45/umno2004/foto.php?cat=2004&page=1 PHOTO GALLERY]{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}[http://atimes01.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/FI24Ae05.html UMNO elections a time for reinvention] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070622033859/http://atimes01.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/FI24Ae05.html |date=22 June 2007 }} He was also seen as a potential candidate for being the deputy chief of UMNO Youth, but he later withdrew his candidacy.[http://www.malaysia-today.net/loonyMY/2005/06/sabah-battleground-for-umno-deputy.htm Sabah: the battleground for the Umno Deputy Presidency (part 2)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061211004615/http://www.malaysia-today.net/loonyMY/2005/06/sabah-battleground-for-umno-deputy.htm |date=11 December 2006 }}

Mukhriz was noted for his continuous efforts in speaking for his father in the events of the rift between Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his father.[https://web.archive.org/web/20071013161828/http://www.malaysia-today.net/Blog-e/2006/05/baptism-of-fire-for-mukhriz.htm Baptism of fire for Mukhriz?]{{Cite web |url=http://www.ytlcommunity.com/commnews/shownews.asp?newsid=23547 |title=Remarks unfair, unwarranted: Umno Youth |access-date=6 November 2006 |archive-date=27 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927195824/http://www.ytlcommunity.com/commnews/shownews.asp?newsid=23547 |url-status=dead }} In 2006, his father lost a bid to be elected as one of seven delegates from Kubang Pasu to UMNO's general assembly; Mukhriz was elected as one of the seven.[http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=44345 Mukhriz shocked; claims move well-planned] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926234502/http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=44345 |date=26 September 2007 }}

=Federal parliamentarian (2008–2013)=

In the 2008 Malaysian general election, Mukhriz contested and won the Jerlun Parliament Seat.[http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2008&dt=0222&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=mh_05.htm Mukhriz ke Parlimen Jerlun][http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/78398 Kedah: Mukhriz to fight Jerlun, Badruddin stays in Jerai] Before this, he offered himself to contest in Langkawi Parliament Seat but was rejected by 85 out of 91 UMNO branches in Langkawi.[http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/2/20/north/20380904&sec=north8 Mukhriz ‘the right man to contest in Langkawi’] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110521095539/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2008%2F2%2F20%2Fnorth%2F20380904&sec=north8 |date=21 May 2011 }} However, many Langkawi leaders backed him later. The Jerlun UMNO division welcomed Mukhriz to contest in their Parliament seat and promised to give him full support in the election.[http://nobisha.blogspot.com/2008/02/mukhriz-selamat-datang-ke-jerlun.html Mukhriz, Selamat Datang ke Jerlun!] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080312175456/http://nobisha.blogspot.com/2008/02/mukhriz-selamat-datang-ke-jerlun.html |date=12 March 2008 }}.

In 2009, Mukhriz contested as a candidate for the new UMNO Youth Chief after the wing's predecessor, Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein released his position. He was rivalled by Khairy Jamaluddin and Khir Toyo. Nominations for the posts coincided with division meetings which took place between October and November 2008. Mukhriz was initially seen as leading in nominations compared to Khairy but eventually lost in the final vote count.

However, a controversy was sparked when Khairy was allowed to contest for the post even though he was found guilty for being involved with money politics by the UMNO Disciplinary Board,[http://www.harakahdaily.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=020051&Itemid=99 Pilih Khairy, Pemuda Umno hilang hala tuju] – from harakahdaily.net. Accessed on 29 March 2009. while others who were found guilty for the same offence, such as Mohd Ali Rustam who was supposed to contest for the UMNO Vice-President post, were not allowed to contest for their respective posts. However, Khairy denied the allegation, as stated in his blog.[https://web.archive.org/web/20090322195110/http://www.rembau.net.my/news_list.asp?uid=436 Penjelasan Mengenai Keputusan Lembaga Disiplin UMNO] {{in lang|ms}} – from Khairy's official blog, Rembau.net.

In the 2013 election, Mukhriz gave up his seat in federal parliament to contest the Kedah State Assembly seat of Ayer Hitam. The move was taken with a view to becoming the Chief Minister of Kedah if the Barisan Nasional coalition could defeat the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) state government led by Azizan Abdul Razak. Mukhriz won Ayer Hitam (defeating the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) incumbent), Barisan Nasional reclaimed the state government, and Mukhriz was sworn in as Chief Minister on 6 May, the day after the election, in the presence of his father.{{cite news|url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2013/5/7/nation/13076403&sec=nation|title=GE13: Mukhriz sworn in as Kedah MB|date=7 May 2013|work=The Star|access-date=12 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130529031755/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2013%2F5%2F7%2Fnation%2F13076403&sec=nation|archive-date=29 May 2013|url-status=dead}}

In January 2016, UMNO Kedah leaders, led by Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah, declare the loss of confidence towards Mukhriz due to "his inability to maintain a united party leadership".{{cite news|last1=Ghazali|first1=Adha|title=UMNO Kedah hilang kepercayaan terhadap Mukhriz|url=http://www.bharian.com.my/node/116315|access-date=3 February 2016|agency=Berita Harian|date=3 February 2016}} The move is widely believed to be a reprisal orchestrated by the Prime Minister Najib Razak's camp in UMNO, which was increasingly infuriated by Mahathir's and Mukhriz's criticisms against Najib.{{cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-03/mahathir-s-son-ousted-as-malaysia-premier-tightens-grip-on-power|title=Mahathir's Son Ousted as Malaysia Premier Tightens Grip on Power|date=3 February 2016|work=Bloomberg|access-date=4 February 2016}} He resigned on 3 February 2016 after losing the majority of support among the assemblymen.{{cite news|title=Mukhriz Mahathir letak jawatan MB Kedah|url=http://www.bharian.com.my/node/120683|access-date=3 February 2016|agency=Berita Harian|date=3 February 2016}} Ahmad Bashah, who is also the Bakar Bata assemblyman, succeeded him as the 12th Chief Minister of Kedah.{{cite news|url=http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/ahmad-bashah-is-new-kedah-mb|title=Ahmad Bashah is new Kedah MB|date=3 February 2016|work=The Malaysian Insider|access-date=3 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160203134349/http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/ahmad-bashah-is-new-kedah-mb|archive-date=3 February 2016|url-status=dead}} Daughter of Mukhriz, Meera Alyanna Mukhriz expressed her gratitude to the rakyat of Kedah for giving her father a chance to serve the state and its people.{{Cite web|title='Thank you, Kedah for being so wonderful!' - Mukhriz Mahathir's daughter|url=https://www.astroawani.com/gaya-hidup/thank-you-kedah-being-so-wonderful-mukhriz-mahathirs-daughter-93286|access-date=|website=www.astroawani.com}}
