He was elected to the Senate as a candidate of National Party to a seat reserved for minorities in the 2015 Pakistani Senate election.[2][3][4]
In January 2020, the National Party expelled Kumar from its membership for voting in favor of the Army Act Amendment Bill, an action that directly contravened the party's official policy.[5] He served the remainder of his term, which concluded in March 2021, as an independent senator.[6]
On November 14, 2023, Kumar joined the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) during a high-profile meeting with Nawaz Sharif in Quetta.[7] Following the 2024 general elections, he was nominated by the PML-N to fill a reserved seat for non-Muslims in the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan, following the death of Patrick Sant Masih. He was officially sworn in on October 28, 2024.[8][6]
