He joined BNP, Bangladesh Nationalist Party in the month of august
of 1992. On June 21, 2002, his father Badruddoza Chowdhury resigned
after being threatened with impeachment and removal from office
by the BNP-led parliament under the charge of disrespecting BNP
founder
Ziaur Rahman. Mahi Chowdhury resigned from parliament and the BNP
on March 10, 2004. He subsequently joined the Bikalpa Dhara-Bangladesh
- (BDB) a political party founded by Badruddoza Chowdhury.
This resignation left a void in the Munshiganj-1 district, and
the BNP-led government was determined to ensure that they retained
the

opposition from the BNP, Mahi Chowdhury managed to win the elections
and enter parliament as an opposition member from the BDB party.
