Muhammad Akbar Ali (born January 29, 2004) is an American politician who was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in a special election runoff on December 2, 2025. A member of the Democratic Party, he represents Georgia's 106th district. He previously served as First Vice Chair of the Gwinnett County Democratic Party. He is the youngest elected legislator in Georgia.
In 2025, Akbar Ali ran against Marqus Cole, a Democratic candidate and local energy nonprofit leader, as well as Jamie Parker, a Republican, for the Georgia House District 106 seat vacated by Shelly Hutchinson upon her resignation. He received endorsements from several state lawmakers, including Roy Barnes, Sam Park, and Hutchinson herself. As no candidate reached over 50% of the vote, the election went to a runoff between Akbar Ali and Marqus Cole, which Ali ultimately won. According to his website, his top campaign priorities included lowering costs, supporting education, and expanding healthcare coverage for low-income Georgians.
Ali was sworn in on December 18, 2025.
