Wan Saiful then won the Tasek Gelugor parliamentary seat in the 2022 Malaysian general election, winning 46% of the vote in a five-cornered fight.

On 28 February 2024, Wan Saiful, as the Tasek Gelugor MP, alleged that he was offered RM 1.7 million to declare support for Prime Minister Anwar and his government during a debate and speech in Parliament.

It was believed that he was referring to Prime Minister Anwar who was practising the convention of having a weekly audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong prior to the Cabinet meeting without naming him.

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid then withdrew a parliamentary motion to suspend Wan Saiful as an MP for six months following his allegations and remarks.

On 9 March 2024, Leader of the Opposition and Larut MP Hamzah Zainudin added that the MACC had no rights to dictate anyone on the timing to lodge a report in response to the warning of Azam and defence of Wan Saiful.
