As a member of the Bosniak National Council, he supported the declaration in which they proclaimed Bosniaks as one of the constituent people in Serbia.[9] After being elected, he said that "the territory of Sandžak will be free and will never be enslaved".[10]
Zukorlić participated in the 2012 presidential election as a candidate representing a civic group.[11][12] He received support from the Bosniak Democratic Union of Sandžak, which he joined a year later.[13] He campaigned on women's rights issues and reconciliation between Muslim ethnic groups in Serbia and Non-Muslim Serbs,[14] he called to end discrimination against minorities,[15] and compared himself to Barack Obama during election campaigning.[14] Zukorlić placed eleventh in the first round, winning 54,492 votes in total.[16] Shortly after the results were published, Zukorlić claimed electoral fraud.[17]
In 2013, Zukorlić commented that Milo Đukanović promised autonomy for Bosniaks within Montenegro, but that he went on to break their deal and that therefore his "conscience is not clear".[18][19]
Zukorlić stepped down from his position of chief Mufti in 2016 in order to run in the 2016 parliamentary election.[20][21] He was chosen as the ballot carrier, and campaigned on reconciliation and his accomplishments as a chief Mufti.[22] The list that he represented won 32,526 votes and managed to win two seats in the National Assembly.[23] Election results also showed that Zukorlić's popularity grew in Sandžak.[24] He supported Aleksandar Vučić in the 2017 presidential election.[25]
Zukorlić held the seat until October 2020, when he was chosen to be one of the vice presidents of the National Assembly.[26] Although he did not attend 695 voting sessions in the National Assembly, he voted 100% in line with the SNS-led government.[27] He held the role of vice president until his death.[26] In 2021, Zukorlić also initially participated in the inter-party dialogue on electoral conditions with delegators from the European Parliament.[28][29]

On 10 April 2022, Zukorlić's son, Usame, stated at a press conference that his family "has a well-founded suspicion that Muamer Zukorlić was poisoned".[46]
