Dato' Wira Othman bin Aziz (born 15 May 1959) is a Malaysian politician. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Jerlun from 5 May 2013 to 9 May 2018 and had served as a Senator from 2020 until 2022. He had served one term as Member of the Kedah State Legislative Assembly for Ayer Hitam from 21 March 2004 to 8 March 2008 and was the Chairman of the Kedah Tourism Action Council.[1] He is a member and the Division Chief of Jerlun of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.
Othman was born in Alor Setar, Kedah. He received his primary education at the Sekolah Kebangsaan Ayer Hitam, Kedah. He continued his secondary education in Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid and later went to University Technology of MARA to study a Diploma in Business Administration. After completing his diploma he went to the National University of Malaysia and graduated with Bachelor of Marketing Studies.[2] He subsequently held a number of positions in corporate enterprises.
In the 2004 general election, Othman was elected to the state assembly of Kedah, defeating the incumbent Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) assemblyman Abdul Ghani Ahmad by 860 votes in the seat of Ayer Hitam. In 2005 he was appointed to the Executive Council of the Kedah state government by the incoming Chief Minister Mahdzir Khalid.[3] During this time he also managed the Kedah Football Association.[4] He was a casualty of the Barisan Nasional state government's defeat in the 2008 election, as he lost his seat by 506 votes to his predecessor, Abdul Ghani.
In the 2013 election, Othman ran for the UMNO-held federal seat of Jerlun. Jerlun was being vacated by Mukhriz Mahathir, who was seeking to move to state politics to become Kedah's Chief Minister. Othman defeated Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS)'s Ismail Salleh by 3,270 votes, winning election to the federal parliament.
In the 2018 election, Othman lost to Mukhriz Mahathir, who was back contesting but under the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (PPBM) ticket, in a three-corner fight with Abdul Ghani Ahmad of PAS for the Jerlun parliamentary seat.
