He won the seat and was elected to Parliament as the Kuantan MP after defeating defending MP Fuziah Salleh of Pakatan Harapan (PH), Ab Hamid Mohd Nazahar of the Barisan Nasional (BN) and Anuar Tajuddin of Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) by a majority of 2,866 votes. In response to his election as the Kuantan MP, he got emotional and added that PN worked very hard to win the seat.

Comments on the uniforms of nurses
On 15 June 2023, Wan Razali made controversial comments on the uniforms of nurses in government hospitals and clinics when debating the White Paper on Public Health Reforms in Parliament. He called on the government to change the uniforms of nurses as they are too tight and not Syariah-complaint. He said the body shapes of women are visible with the uniforms. His comments attracted widespread and sharp criticisms. He was criticised for missing the point and prioritising the uniforms instead of the welfare of the nurses. He was also demanded to apologise to all nurses. Among the critics are Minister of Health Zaliha Mustafa, Minister of Local Government Development Nga Kor Ming, former Deputy Minister of Health Lee Boon Chye, President of the Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (CUEPACS) Adnan Mat, President of the Malaysian Nurses Union (MNU) Nor Hayati Abdul Rashid and President of the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) Muruga Raj Rajathurai. They stressed that there was no problems and issues with the uniforms as they are functional, practical, comfortable, decent and adhere to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health.
