editAlam was elected to parliament from Cox's Bazar-1 as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate on 30 December 2018.[3][4] He was elected after Hasina Ahmed on that seat at 11th parliament.[5]
Alam is a Bangladeshi politician affiliated with the Bangladesh Awami League and, as of September 2024[update], serves as the President of the Bangladesh Awami League, Chakaria Upazila.[6]
Alam’s political career began to gain prominence when he was elected as the Mayor of Chakaria Municipality in 2005. In 2014, Alam was elected as the Upazila Chairman of Chakaria Upazila.[7]
During his tenure, he focused on local development projects, infrastructure improvements, and education initiatives, which contributed to his increasing popularity in the region.[8][9]
Having failed to get the Awami League's nomination for the 2024 Bangladeshi general election, Alam ran unsuccessfully as an independent candidate.[10][11]
