In 2014, Mohiuddin was made a candidate for the Karwan seat for the Assembly election by party chief Asaduddin Owaisi as a replacement for Afsar Khan.{{cite web|title=MIM drop Afsar khan & Virasat Rasool khan for 2014 Election|url=http://archive.siasat.com/news/mim-drop-afsar-khan-virasat-rasool-khan-2014-election-560957/|publisher=Siasat|accessdate=6 July 2017}} Khan was replaced for health reasons.{{cite web|title=MIM names 7 candidates in first list|url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/nation/mim-names-7-candidates-in-first-list.html|publisher=Daily Pioneer|accessdate=6 July 2017}} Times of India wrote that Mohiuddin worked at the grassroot level and "worked in close cooperation with the local legislator".{{cite web|title=Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen replaces two sitting MLAs|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen-replaces-two-sitting-MLAs/articleshow/33042242.cms|work=Times of India|access-date=6 July 2017}} In the election, he defeated his nearest rival Baddam Bal Reddy of the Bharatiya Janata Party by 38 thousand votes.{{cite web|title=MIM keeps its kite flying high|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/140517/nation-politics/article/mim-keeps-its-kite-flying-high|publisher=Deccan Chronicle|access-date=6 July 2017}}
In July 2017, Mohiuddin objected to the demolition of a 30 feet compound wall in Banjara Hills. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation officials said that the labourers were abused by him. However the area did not fall under his constituency and he intervened after he received a phone call from the property owner.{{cite web|title=Demolition drive stalled by MIM Karwan MLA Kausar Moinuddin|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/politics/040717/demolition-drive-stalled-by-mim-karwan-mla-kausar-moinuddin.html|publisher=Deccan Chronicle|access-date=6 July 2017}} The GHMC officials claimed that the wall was illegally built.{{cite web|title=MIM MLA abuses GHMC staff, stalls demolition of illegal structure|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2017/jul/04/mim-mla-abuses-ghmc-staff-stalls-demolition-of-illegal-structure-1623904.html|publisher=New Indian Express|access-date=6 July 2017}}
