Mujibur Rahman is a Bangladeshi politician who is ccurrently serving as a member of parliament for the Rajshahi-1 constituency.[1][2][3]

Early career

Professor Mujibur Rahman is a Bangladeshi political leader and educator, widely known for his long-standing involvement in Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and his ties to the Rajshahi-1 (Godagari–Tanore) constituency. He previously served as a Member of Parliament for Rajshahi-1, holding office from May 1986 to March 1988.

Born on 1 January 1955 in Alatuli village, Godagari Upazila (Rajshahi District), he pursued higher education at the University of Rajshahi, completing Honours and an MA in English Literature. He also earned a diploma in Arabic and Persian from the same university.

After completing his studies, Professor Mujibur Rahman passed the BCS education cadre examination, but chose not to enter government service, aiming instead to dedicate himself more fully to Islamic social and political work. He later built his professional career as a professor in the English department at a non-government college—a background that has remained central to his public identity

Political career

Within Jamaat-e-Islami, he is recognized as a senior leader and has held the role of Nayeb-e-Ameer (Vice President). During periods of political uncertainty, he has also carried major organizational responsibilities; for example, Jamaat announced that he would serve as Acting Ameer following the arrest of the party’s Ameer in December 2022. (Jamaat had also previously announced him as Acting Ameer in October 2017 under similar circumstances.)

In recent political reporting related to national elections and constituency activity, he has been described as the Jamaat-nominated figure associated with Rajshahi-1, including public remarks made during nomination-related events in late 2025. His official public presence is also reflected through his verified/official-facing social media page, presented as the official page of Professor Mujibur Rahman.
