==Political career==
Majid Hussain was apparently hand-picked by the MIM President [[Asaduddin Owaisi]] because of his suave personality & affable manners. Majid fought the Municipal Elections the first time on and won as the [[Corporator]] of Ahmednagar division in the 2009 [[GHMC]] Municipal elections.

On 4 January 2012, Majid's candidature as [[GHMC]] [[Mayor]] was proposed by [[All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen|MIM's]] Doodhbowli corporator MA Ghaffar and seconded by former mayor [[Banda Karthika Reddy]]. In a span of 15 minutes, the election process was completed and 31-year-old Majid Hussain was declared the new mayor of [[GHMC]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/mims-hussain-elected-mayor-of-hyderabad-434021.html | title=MIM's Hussain elected Mayor of Hyderabad | publisher= news18.com | accessdate= 4 January 2012}}</ref> After a gap of 12 years [[All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen|MIM's]] has succeeded in installing its own mayor in the city of Hyderabad and in the process created a record of sorts. The party has chosen 31-year-old Mohammad Majid Hussain, the youngest mayor the city has ever had.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gulfnews.com/world/asia/india/hussain-becomes-youngest-mayor-of-hyderabad-1.961464 | title=Hussain becomes youngest mayor of Hyderabad | publisher= gulfnews.com | accessdate= 5 January 2012}}</ref>

On 31 October 2012, several developmental works worth Rs. 7 crore were inaugurated in Mayor Majid Hussain's division of Ahmednagar by [[Hyderabad]] MP and [[Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen|Majlis]] chief [[Asaduddin Owaisi]]. The division boasted of a new community hall, a ladies training centre, a ration shop at Syednagar and a new bus stop.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/hyderabad-mayors-division-gets-a-bounty/article4050065.ece | title=Hyderabad Mayor’s division gets a bounty | work= The Hindu| accessdate= 31 October 2012}}</ref> 19 Feb 2013, The lone corporator of [[Majlis Bachao Tehreek]] (MBT), Amjadullah Khan, was forcibly evicted from the council hall when he rushed to the mayor's podium protesting the denial of an opportunity to speak during the GHMC budget discussion. As Khan protested by standing at the podium, the mayor called marshals and got him evicted from the council hall.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Majlis-Bachao-Tehreek-corporator-suspended-by-mayor/articleshow/18567312.cms | title= Majlis Bachao Tehreek corporator suspended by mayor | work= The Times of India| accessdate= 19 February 2013}}</ref>

Majid Hussain had submitted his resignation on 7 March 2014 citing instructions from his party. The move was presented as honoring the agreement with [[Indian Congress|Congress]] on seat-sharing but it was widely speculated that Mr. Hussain was being readied to contest from one of the Assembly constituencies in the city. Amid high drama, and apparently driven by political equations emerging ahead of the Assembly elections, the resignation of Mayor Majid Hussain was rejected by the GHMC's General Council.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/mayors-resignation-rejected/article5820010.ece | title= Mayor’s resignation rejected | work=The Hindu| accessdate= 23 March 2014}}</ref>
