Political career
In January 2019, Ramli first contested to become a MP in Cameron Highlands by-election. The election was held after the Election Court on 30 November 2018 declared the incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN) Member of Parliament of Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) Dato' Sivarraajh Chandran's victory in the seat null and void because it was found that corrupt practices were committed in the 14th general election.[2]
He won the by-election after defeating DAP's M. Manogaran from Pakatan Harapan and two other Independent candidates, Wong Seng Yee and Sallehudin Ab Talib, with a 3,238 majority.
He is the first indigenous Orang Asli candidate elected into the Dewan Rakyat.[3] (Ramli later join one of the coalition's constituent parties, United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) as its member.)[4]
