Suman was a legal affairs secretary of the Central committee of Bangladesh Awami Jubo League until he was suspended from his role in August 2021.[4]
Suman resigned from International Crime Tribunal in February 2022.[5][6]
In 2024 Bangladeshi election, as an independent candidate, he beat his closest opponent, Md. Mahbub Ali, the incumbent 2-time parliamentarian from Awami League and a former state minister for civil aviation and tourism, by nearly 100,000 votes.[7]
On 6 August 2024, the day after Sheikh Hasina fled the country because of 2024 Non-cooperation movement, President Mohammed Shahabuddin dissolved the 12th Jatiya Sangsad. So he lost his position as one of its members.
