Azizan bin Abdul Razak[1] (25 October 1944 – 26 September 2013) was a Malaysian politician who served as the 10th Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) of the state of Kedah from 2008 to 2013.
He was also the state commissioner for PAS in Kedah and a member of the central committee of the national party.
[2] He was nominated by his party PAS to contest in the 1995 Kedah state election of Sala, which he won from Ahmad Awang, then UMNO Pendang Deputy Chief.
[3] Azizan, as the leader of PAS in the state, became the first chief minister of Kedah from a party other than the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO); the 2008 victory broke a decades-long run of uninterrupted UMNO rule.
Azizan died on 26 September 2013 at the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital's intensive care unit due to weakening health.
