He has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Jeli since March 2004. He is member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition.

In the aftermath of BN's loss in the 2018 election and UMNO's own party election, Mustapa announced on 18 September 2018 that he has quit UMNO, citing disagreements with the party's current direction.[2] On the 27 October 2018, Mustapa joined BERSATU.[13]
