A History of Activism: Ahmad's political journey is rooted in activism. His tenure as the General Secretary of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Student's Union saw him spearheading a pivotal protest in 2018.

Joining the Samajwadi Party: July 2022 marked a significant turn in Ahmad's career as he joined the SP.
