In the end of 2012 he left PML-F and joined PPP on desire of then President Asif Ali Zardari who had declared him Governor-designate of Punjab.[4]

During his time with PML-F, Makhdoom Syed Ahmed Mahmood was the strong supporter of Saraiki Sooba Tehreek. However, he withdrawn this stance as soon as he became Governor Punjab. Presently, he is the president of PPP South Punjab chapter.[citation needed]
