Career
Khokon was elected to Parliament in 2005 in a by-election from Narsingdi-1 as a candidate of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. The seat fell vacant following the death of incumbent Member of Parliament Shamsuddin Ahmed Ishaq. He defeated independent candidate Shahadat Hossain Munna. The election was boycotted by the main opposition party, Bangladesh Awami League. The voting saw a low turnout and voting centers were forcefully taken over by Bangladesh Nationalist Party activists who chased away the polling agents of other candidates.[1] He is the Senior Joint Secretary of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. He was nominated by Bangladesh Nationalist Party to contest the 2018 Bangladesh General Election.[2]
