Political career

Shah, son of former politician Nasib Ali Shah, entered politics by contesting the 2013 Pakistani general elections from NA-26 Bannu as an independent candidate, but was unsuccessful. He received votes and was defeated by Akram Khan Durrani, a candidate of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) (JUI(F)).[3]

He joined the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party in 2018. He contested a by-election as a PTI candidate from NA-35 Bannu the same year, but was unsuccessful. He received 37,622 votes and was defeated by Zahid Akram Durrani, a candidate of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA).[4]

He was elected to the National Assembly in the 2024 Pakistani general election from NA-39 Bannu with 147,087 votes as a PTI-affiliated independent. He defeated Zahid Akram Durrani, who was a JUI-F candidate. His election marked a significant moment, becoming the first non-JUI politician to represent Bannu since 1993.[5]
