Former Kelantan exco member Husam Musa is now the Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) vice-president and has been tasked with leading the party's electoral effort in Kelantan.

Amanah secretary-general Mohd Anuar Tahir said Husam comes with years of experience in governing Kelantan and was once a student for former menteri besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.

"It took some time (to convince Husam). He is a humble person and a student of the tok guru (Nik Abdul Aziz)," said Mohd Anuar.
