He was re-nominated by the Awami League to contest the seat in the 2018 Bangladeshi general election and was re-elected. In that election, Ahmed received approximately 361,000 votes, while his nearest rival, Anindya Islam Amit of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, received around 31,000 votes.[6]

In the mid-2020s, Kazi Nabil Ahmed became subject to multiple investigations by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). In February 2025, a Dhaka court imposed a travel ban on Ahmed and several members of his family following a petition filed by the ACC.[13] Later that month, the court also ordered the freezing of bank accounts and the attachment of certain assets linked to members of the family; those proceedings remain ongoing.[14]

In August 2025, the ACC filed a case against Ahmed alleging the acquisition of illegal wealth and suspicious financial transactions involving multiple bank accounts.[15][16]

In November 2025, the ACC filed an additional case seeking the confiscation of assets and alleging money laundering. According to the petition, investigators cited financial activity across multiple personal, joint, and company accounts; the matter remains under legal process.[17]

In October 2024, The Daily Star reported that investments in a United Kingdom–based company linked to Ahmed and his brothers were made through overseas entities without prior approval from the Bangladesh Bank, according to regulatory findings.[18]
