Hasni was first elected toMalaysian Parliament as the MP of Pontian in the2004 general election (GE11).
In the2008 general election (GE12), he was elected as the Member of the Johor State Legislative Assembly for Benut. He managed to retain the seat in the2013 (GE13) and2018 (GE14) general elections. In the2022 Johor state election, he was reelected as the Benut assemblyman for his 4th consecutive term by defeating all of his 3 opponents, Isa Abdul Hamid fromPerikatan Nasional (PN), Haniff Ghazali Hosman fromPakatan Harapan (PH) and Iskandar Noor Ibrahim fromHomeland Fighters Party (PEJUANG) with a majority of 5,859 votes.

BN Chairman and UMNO PresidentAhmad Zahid Hamidi also added that he would submit the name of Hasni to the Sultan of Johor for his reappointment to the position. However, on 14 March 2022, Hasni suddenly announced his withdrawal from the running for the position by stating that he would pave way and endorse a younger candidate to lead the state government citing long term development for Johor and the next day on 15 March 2022, caretaker EXCO member and newMachap MLAOnn Hafiz Ghazi was sworn in as the new and 19th Menteri Besar to take over him after his 2 years in office.
