Mandal became the president of Enayetpur thana unit of the Awami League despite not having any affiliation with the party before 2014.

He was elected to Parliament on 5 January 2014 from Sirajganj-5, representing Belkuchi Upazila and Chauhali Upazila. He was a member of the Parliamentary Committee on the Ministry of Textiles and Jute. He is the founding chairman of Mondol Group.
