Howlader was appointed the general secretary of the Jatiya Party in 2001. He was elected to parliament in 2008 from Barisal-6 as a Jatiya Party candidate. On 10 April 2013, he was removed as general secretary following a power struggle in the party.[3] He again was elected to parliament in 2014 from Patuakhali-1.[4] On 19 January 2016, he was reinstated as secretary general.[3]
