However, the results has been controversial and disputed by Mohamad Ali. The results also resulted in the boycott and absence of most of the committee members in the first meeting of Tangga Batu UMNO Division after Rais was elected as its new Chief, alleged sex scandal of Rais and him being replaced with Rais as the Melaka UMNO State Deputy Chairman on 22 March 2023.

On 16 December 2020, he was appointed as the 14th and new Deputy President of the Dewan Negara, deputising for President Rais Yatim and replacing Abdul Halim Abdul Samad. On 19 May 2023, he stepped down as Deputy President of the Dewan Negara and Senator following the expiration of his 3-year term.
