Mallah was elected to the Assam Legislative Assembly from Ratabari in 2011 as a Congress candidate and, after joining the BJP, retained the seat in 2016. In 2019 he won the Karimganj Lok Sabha seat for the BJP.
In the 2024 general election he was re-elected from Karimganj, defeating Congress candidate Hafiz Rashid Ahmed Choudhury by 18,360 votes (5,45,093 to 5,26,733).
Choudhury later filed an election petition in the Gauhati High Court alleging irregularities in the poll. The High Court dismissed the petition on 4 April 2025 on technical grounds relating to attestation. On appeal, the Supreme Court set aside that dismissal and restored the petition to the High Court for trial. No court has made any finding against Mallah, and he continues to serve as MP.
