New Delhi, The only Muslim face in Chief Minister-designate Atishi's Delhi cabinet Imran Hussain is a two-time MLA from Ballimaran constituency of Chandni Chowk.
The 43-year-old Aam Aadmi Party leader is set to become a member of the Atishi Council of Ministers.
Hussain held the post of Minister for Food and Civil Supplies and Elections in the Kejriwal-led cabinet.
He made his electoral debut in 2015 with AAP and defeated BJP's Shyam Lal Morwal by a margin of 33,877 votes.
In the 2020 Delhi Assembly election, Hussain was re-elected after defeating BJP's Lata by 36,172 votes.
Before joining AAP, Hussain contested the 2013 Delhi Assembly elections on a Bahujan Samaj Party ticket, but lost to Congress's Haroon Yusuf.
Earlier, in April 2012, he had won the councilor seat from Ballimaran on a Rashtriya Lok Dal ticket.
Born and brought up in Delhi, Hussain hails from the Walled City area of the national capital. He attended Crescent School in Daryaganj and earned a Bachelor of Business Studies degree from Jamia Millia Islamia before joining his family's apparel business.
Hussain is among the four ministers who will be retained in Atishi's new cabinet.
After the resignation of outgoing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, AAP formally staked claim to form the new government under the leadership of Atishi.
The new cabinet is scheduled to take oath of office on September 21. However, his tenure will be brief, as Delhi Assembly elections are due in February next year.
