Jafar Alam is a Bangladeshi politician and a former member of the Bangladesh Parliament from Cox's Bazar-1.

Career

Alam was elected to parliament from Cox's Bazar-1 as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate on 30 December 2018.[3][4] He was elected after Hasina Ahmed on that seat at 9th parliament. So Alam served for the second term.[citation needed]

Having failed to get the Awami League's nomination for the 2024 Bangladeshi general election, Alam ran unsuccessfully as an independent candidate.[5][6]
