Toyad was first elected to Parliament in the 1982 election. In 1987, he became Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, appointed by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.[2] After the 2004 election, he joined the full ministry of Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi as Minister for Tourism.[3][4] He was dropped from the cabinet in 2006, in a move that surprised observers, to be replaced by Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.[4] Ahead of the 2008 election he indicated his intention to retire, but he recontested and won his seat, both in that poll and again in 2013.[5]
