Aryadan Muhammed is a prominent Muslim face in the congress faction in Kerala and was elected as a member of the legislative assembly for eight times from Nilambur.

When the United Democratic Front ruled Kerala from 2011 to 2016, Muhammed was the power minister in the Oommen Chandy government.
It should be noted that Aryadan Muhammed also served as a minister in the CPI(M) Government led by E K Nayanar, when some Congress leaders aligned with the left front.
