Political career

Member of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly (since 2018)

2018 Perlis state election

In the 2018 Perlis state election, Gan made her electoral debut after being nominated by PH to contest for the Indera Kayangan state seat. She won the seat and was elected into the Perlis State Legislative Assembly as the Indera Kayangan MLA for the first term after defeating Chuah Tian Hee of Barisan Nasional (BN) and Wan Hassan Ismail of Gagasan Sejahtera (GS) by the majority of 3,177 votes.

2022 Perlis state election

In the 2022 Perlis state election, Gan was renominated by PH to defend the Indera Kayangan seat.[4] She defended the seat and was reelected as the Indera Kayangan MLA for the second term after defeating Pramoot Puan of PN, Lim Weng Khee of BN as well as Atan Jasin of the Heritage Party (WARISAN) by a majority of 1,873 votes. Indera Kayangan is the safest Perlis state seat for PH and PKR according to some analysis and it is attributed to the victory of Gan in the election despite "green wave", a new phrase describing the spread of political influence of the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), a component party of the PN coalition which is represented by a green flag from the east coast areas of Peninsular Malaysia to other areas like Perlis located at the northwest coast of the peninsular as Indera Kayangan has the biggest share of voters of the Chinese ethnicity who mostly support and vote for PH in the ethnic breakdown of Perlis.[5]

Leader of the Opposition of Perlis (since 2022)

The 2022 Perlis state election won by PN as it won 14 out of 15 state seats and therefore two-thirds supermajority of the assembly left Gan as the PH candidate who won the remaining 1 seat. She then became the Leader of the Opposition of Perlis replacing Asrul Nizan Abdul Jalil of PH and PKR who also lost his Sena seat to Marzita Mansor of PN in the election. She hoped to work closely with the state government led by Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli to develop the state in the spirit of cooperation regardless of political affiliations of the federal coalition government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim although both governments are led by leaders of different and opposing political coalitions to prevent the state from falling behind other states on development.[6][7] She also thanked Mohd Shukri on giving her equal and fair treatments and praised him for creating great achievements in terms of investments and developments he brought to the state in the first 100 days of his Menteri Besarship and his state government.[8]
