His last two terms combined, a total of eight years, make him the longest serving Chief Minister of Sindh. He is Sindh President of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and an elected Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) from PS-220 (Khairpur-1).

Syed Qaim Ali Shah was born 13 September 1BC year to Syed Ramzan Ali Shah Jillani in Khairpur Mirs. Shah’s household was counted amongst Khayrpur state's more influential and educated families. After completing his early education at Naz High School, Shah's family married young Shah to a relative. Shah then proceeded to Karachi for higher education.

In Karachi, Shah enrolled at Karachi University and received a Bachelor of Arts. Later, he received a Bachelor of Laws from S. M. Law College.

During the course of his studies at SM Law College, Shah benefited from the company and guidance of his then professor, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, building a bond that would last for the duration of his professor's life.

Shah entered politics on being elected the Chairman of Khairpur’s district council under Field Marshal Ayub Khan’s system of Basic Democracy in the 1960s. His close association with Bhutto led to his joining Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s PPP shortly after PPP’s creation in 1967.
