He is former president of the Youth Office at the National Coordination Committee for Democratic Change. He was a member of the internal opposition delegation to the Geneva peace talks on Syria (2017).[6]

Marei was a candidate in the 2021 Syrian presidential election. According to the Daily Telegraph, "Few consider former state minister Abdallah Salloum Abdallah and Mahmoud Merhi, a member of the so-called 'tolerated opposition', serious contenders."[7] The Democratic Arab Socialist Union rejected the legitimacy of the elections and distanced itself from Mahmoud Ahmad Marei, saying he had been expelled from the party in 2013.[8]
