Born on 13 May 1969 in Hyderabad, he qualified as a barrister at Lincoln’s Inn in London. He first won the Charminar seat in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly in 1994 and entered the Lok Sabha from Hyderabad in 2004. On 29 September 2008 he became AIMIM president, succeeding his father, Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi, and he was re-elected from Hyderabad in 2014 and 2019.
Owaisi is in the news for his party’s push in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. At a rally at Nauchandi Grounds in Meerut on 14 November 2026, he said AIMIM would first remove Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and then work to remove Prime Minister Narendra Modi, PTI reported via ThePrint. He proposed Azad Samaj Party president Chandrashekhar Azad as the chief ministerial candidate of the Samajik Parivartan Morcha, the alliance of the two parties. The riot figures he cited about the Samajwadi Party and Congress are his own claims, and no response from either party was reported.
