From 2016, he joined his elder brother, Hussain Muhammad Ershad, who was the founder and chairman of the Jatiya Party. Ershad had declared to make Quader the co-chairman of the party although Ershad's wife Rowshan Ershad and her MPs were against the decision. In May 2019, Ershad appointed Quader acting chairman of Jatiya Party. In July 2019, he became chairman of the party. His leadership has been challenged by Bidisha Ershad, wife of Ershad, and Rowshan Ershad, another wife of Ershad and co-chairperson of the party. In light of the 12th National Elections, his political decisions are being subject to staunch criticisms by Saquib Rahman, Editor of Progress Magazine and Senior Lecturer of Law at North South University.
