Zahari bin Kechik[1] (born 1961) is a Malaysian politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Jeli since November 2022. He was a member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition. Currently, he is an independent politician since his BERSATU membership ended on 12 June 2024.[2]
On 8 November 2023, Zahari declared his support for the government and leadership of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. His support for Anwar and his government strengthened the two-thirds majority support in the Dewan Rakyat they commanded by increasing the MPs supporting his government from 150 to 151. He is the fourth opposition MP to do so after Kuala Kangsar MP Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid, Labuan MP Suhaili Abdul Rahman and Gua Musang MP Mohd Azizi Abu Naim. They were later joined by the Bukit Gantang and Tanjong Karang MPs, Syed Abu Hussin and Dr. Zulkafperi Hanapi.[3]
