## Political career

Majid Hussain was hand-picked by the AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi and became the Corporator of Ahmednagar division in the 2009 GHMC Municipal elections.
On 4 January 2012, Majid's candidature as GHMC Mayor was proposed by AIMIM's Doodhbowli corporator MA Ghaffar and was supported by the former mayor Banda Karthika Reddy. In a span of 15 minutes, the election process was completed and 31-year-old Hussain was declared the new mayor of GHMC. After a gap of 12 years MIM had succeeded in installing its own mayor in the city with Hussain being the youngest mayor the city had.
On 7 March 2014 citing instructions from his party, Hussain had submitted his resignation. This move was presented as honouring the agreement with Congress on seat-sharing but it was widely speculated that Hussain was being readied to contest from one of the Assembly constituencies in the city. Amid high drama, and apparently driven by political equations emerging ahead of the Assembly elections, the resignation of Mayor Majid Hussain was rejected by the GHMC's General Council.
Majid Hussain won as the Corporator of Mehdipatnam division in the 2016 GHMC Municipal elections. During the 2018 Telangana Assembly elections, Majid Hussain was made the Election in-charge of Nampally constituency in which AIMIM won the seat.
In 2020 Bihar General Elections, Majid Hussain was again made the election in-charge where AIMIM won 5 seats.
Hussain was again elected as the Corporator of Mehdipatnam in the 2020 GHMC Municipal Elections.
Hussain was declared as the AIMIM candidate from the Nampally constituency in the 2023 Telangana Legislative Assembly election which he subsequently won by narrowly defeating Congress candidate Mohammed Feroz Khan and replaced incumbent Jaffer Hussain who instead became MLA of Yakhutpura constituency.
