Chowdhury was elected to the parliament from Rajshahi-1 in 2008 and on 5 January 2014 as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate.[1] He was sent a show cause notice by the Bangladesh Election Commission in April 2016 for violating electoral code by supporting candidates in local elections.[4] He is a former State Minister of Industries.

On 15 January 2018, Chowdhury was accused by a Prothom Alo report of being involved in a drug trade.[5] He denied the allegations in a rejoinder to the Prothom Alo. The Prothom Alo replied the report was based on a report by the Ministry of Home Affairs on the drug trade in Rajshahi.[6]
