Fielded as a strong candidate by the UDF in the LDF bastion of Kozhikode in the 2009 Lok Sabha election, M. K. Raghavan managed to wrangle victory riding on the general anti-CPI(M) wave in the state as well as the conscience votes of the CPI(M) partner Janata Dal (S) which was denied its sitting seat. However, it was noted that he won by a meagre 838 votes while three dummy candidates for his opponent P. A. Muhammad Riyas of CPI(M) bagged more votes than this winning margin. However, he cemented his victory with much better margins in the subsequent Lok Sabha elections in 2014 with 16,883 and 2019 with 85,225.
He has selected as Chairman, Divisional Railway Monitoring Committee of Palakkad Division.
