Shahzada Mohiuddin entered politics on the
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) platform in 1972. He was elected
Chairman District Council Chitral in 1983 and once again in 1987. Following the
1985 general elections he became a Member of the
Parliament, and additionally served as
Parliamentary Secretary for Communications till the dissolution of the Assembly. He lost his seat to
Nusrat Bhutto in the
1988 general elections but won the National Assembly elections again in
1990. Leading up to the 1990 elections he was appointed
Minister for Excise and Taxation in the interim provincial government of NWFP. Following it he was appointed
Minister of State for Tourism (1990–1993) in Prime Minister

Nazim of Chitral in the local body elections of 2001. He became a Member of the
Parliament for the fourth time in
2008 and was appointed ''Chairman National Assembly's Standing Committee on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan''. In that capacity he was a proponent of peace and the idea that both countries should promote trade and other means of people-to-people contacts across the
Line of Control to pave way for resolving the
Kashmir issue. One of the greatest landmarks in Shahzada Mohiuddin's political career is his work on restarting the
Lowari Tunnel Project which has opened avenues of progress and prosperity for the remote district. Due to its geographical situation, Chitral would remain totally cut off from the rest of the country for up to five months every winter due to heavy snowfall on the 10,200-feet-high
Lowari Pass; one of the only two land routes connecting the district to other parts of the country. Thousands of people had lost their lives while trying to cross over the Lowari pass.
General Pervez Musharraf had sanctioned funds while in power for the Lowari Tunnel project for providing an all-weather road linking Chitral with the rest of Pakistan. In acknowledgement Shahzada Mohiuddin vacated his
parliamentary seat in favour of the
Former President. Shahzada Mohiuddin was particular in pursuing infrastructure projects for his constituency. He was an outspoken critic of the
PIA management for frequent cancellation of flights on the
Peshawar-
Chitral route on technical grounds. He mentioned on record that his
constituency was remote and poor, consequently he often supported sitting governments just for securing development project and funds for his constituency. ==Retirement from political life==
