Life and career

Akram was elected to parliament from Narayanganj-5 as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate in 1996.
In 2011, Akram sought the Awami League nomination in the first election for Mayor of Narayanganj. The party instead chose Shamim Osman as their candidate. Akram withdrew from the race and threw his support behind another Awami Leaguer, Selina Hayat Ivy, who went on to win. Later that year Akram resigned from the Awami League, saying he felt ill used by the national party in the mayoral election and in other instances.
