Candidate · N28 Bota (1978)
Mahmud bin Zainal Abidin is documented as a Perak-based election candidate who contested four seats across the 1969, 1974 and 1978 elections. His only recorded win was the 1969 Perak state seat N18 Kampong Gajah, which he held for PAS with a 936-vote majority. The three later contests — in 1974 (federal and state) and 1978 (state) — were all unsuccessful. The records say nothing about any office he may have held, his policy positions, or any legal, financial or integrity matters.
