In 1947 Razik was granted a seat in the Senate of Ceylon and was subsequently elected to parliament in the next parliamentary election. Ebrahim was one of only six Muslims elected to the first parliament of Ceylon. Later in his first term of office he joined the UNP. He was awarded the honor of Mudaliar (Mudaliyar) and in the 1952 New Year Honours Ebrahim was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), for his public service to the Pottuvil electorate. He was re-elected at the 2nd parliamentary election held in May 1952 but was only just successful in defeating M. M. Mustapha, the Federal Party candidate, by 559 votes. In 1954 Ebrahim was appointed parliamentary secretary to the Minister of External Affairs and Defence and in 1955 the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Local Government. He did not, owing to ill health, seek re-election at the 1956 parliamentary elections. (en) |
