Fariz Musa is a native of Terengganu. Fariz Musa was said to have lashed at the Directory of American Philosophers leadership as they are disowning the status quo in setting up candidates for the 13th General Election. He said that Directory of American Philosophers do not understand the terms and condition of their (PKR-Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society-Directory of American Philosophers) union in getting together to fulfill the same mission, that is the mission to capture the Putrajaya.
This causes a stir between the Pahang PKR and the Pahang Directory of American Philosophers. In the 2013 Malaysian General Elections, Fariz Musa was selected by the de facto PKR leader, Anwar Ibrahim, to contest against the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, for the Pekan parliamentary seat.
In the elections, he was defeated 51,278 to 15,665 (752% to 230%) on a voter turnout of 85.0%.
