Political career

Shah started his political career with Pakistan Peoples Party. His father Muzammil Shah was also a senior politician and was a close aide to PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He first won provincial assembly seat in 2008 general elections and remained Provincial Minister for Industry and Commerce in Awami National Party's coalition government. He lost next two general elections, 2013 and 2018, consecutively, both as a candidate of the PPP.

He then joined the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after the disqualification of Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML(N)) MPA Mian Zia ur Rehman.[1]

Shah contested the subsequent by-election on 26 February 2019 from PK-30 (Mansehra-I) as a candidate of the PTI. He won the election with a majority of 6,493 votes over the runner up Mazhar Qasim of PML(N). He garnered 46,438 votes while Qasim received 39,945 votes.[2][3]
