Munzoor Shaik Emam

Ahmed Munzoor Shaik Emam is a South African politician who served as a Member of the National Assembly of South Africa for the National Freedom Party twice, from May 2014 to May 2019 and again from June 2019 until he defected to the Allied Movement for Change in April 2024. He is currently president of the Allied Movement for Change.

Political career
Emam was a member of ACTSTOP in Johannesburg and later joined the United Democratic Front. He was also a member of the Inkatha Freedom Party, but resigned from the party to be part of the establishment of the National Freedom Party.

Parliamentary career
Emam was elected to the National Assembly in the  2014 general election. He took office as an MP on 21 May 2014. During his first term, he was a member of the following committees: public accounts, appropriations and health.

In March 2018, Emam voted for the establishment of an ad hoc committee to amend section 25 of the South African constitution. He did not win re-election in May 2019, as he was placed low on the party's list. Party leader Zanele kaMagwaza-Msibi resigned from Parliament in June 2019, and the party selected Emam to fill her seat. He took office on 25 June 2019.

Emam controversially stated in Parliament in February 2024 "that the City of Cape Town will be a bloodbath and that we will not allow Zionists to make this a Jewish State."

In April 2024, Emam resigned from the NFP and became leader of the Allied Movement for Change.

Committees
He received his new committee assignments in July 2019.
