Political career

From 2004 to 2005, Kujundžić served as assistant of the Minister of Health and Social Welfare.

A longtime member of Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), he resigned from the party following his defeat in party chairmanship election in May 2012, which was won by Tomislav Karamarko. Kujundžić then founded a right-wing political party Croatian Dawn, established in July 2013 but returned to HDZ in 2016.

In 2012, Kujundžić was a candidate for the president of the Croatian Democratic Union, and in the 20 May 2012 election he came in second after Tomislav Karamarko. In the presidential election in 2014, he was a candidate for the president, but was defeated with conquered 6.3 percent of the vote.
