Career

Islam was elected to parliament from Faridpur-1 as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate in the 1996 and 2001 general elections. On 3 June 2005, he joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. According to article 70 of the Constitution of Bangladesh, Faridpur-1 then fell vacant and by-elections were called. The BNP originally nominated Islam for the by-election but later changed the nomination to Shah Muhammad Abu Zafar before the election.
Islam later returned to the Bangladesh Awami League and, as of 2017, is serving as the vice-president of the Bangladesh Krishok League in Faridpur District.
