Shah Moazzem Hossain (known as SM Hossain; 10 January 1939 – 14 September 2022)[1] was a Bangladesh Nationalist Party politician and the last deputy prime minister of Bangladesh.[2] He was elected as the Jatiya Sangsad member representing the Rangpur-6 constituency as a Jatiya Party candidate in a by-election in September 1991 and served until November 1995.[3]

Career

[edit]

Hossain was active in student politics. He served as the whip of the 1972 Bangladesh Awami League government headed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He was a minister in the cabinet of Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad.[4]

He was elected to parliament from Rangpur-6 as a Jatiya Party candidate in a by-election in September 1991. The by-elections were called after Hussain Mohammad Ershad, who had won five seats including Rangpur-6, chose to resign and represent Rangpur-3.[5][6][7]

He joined Jatiya Party led by Hussain Mohammad Ershad but was removed from the party in 1992. He joined Bangladesh Nationalist Party afterwards.[8] He served as Vice-Chairman of Bangladesh Nationalist Party until death.[9]
