Natrah made her electoral debut in theJohor state assembly elections in 2013 in a losing effort to UMNO’sAyub Rahmat by 2,260 votes in theKemelah constituency.
Five years later in2018, she won a rematch against Ayub, this time defeating him by 1,281 votes to win the Sekijang parliamentary seat.
Natrah was one of the first-time MPs elected as the Pakatan Harapan coalition swept into power, ending the 61 years rule of the BN federal government.
In 2021, Natrah claimed she had been approached to defect and give her support as a federal lawmaker to thePerikatan Nasional government led by the then-Prime MinisterMuhyiddin Yassin.[3] She was later reported to have rejected the offer. However, in the2022 general election, she was not fielded as a PKR candidate due to her ailing heath, withDr Zaliha Mustafa succeeding her as the Sekijang MP.
Natrah Ismail died from cancer on 2 November 2023, at the age of 73.[4]
