Saleem was elected from Constituency PF-24 Swabi on an ANP ticket in 1993,[5] but lost the election to ANP's Saleem Khan Advocate after becoming an independent candidate in the 1997 elections.[6][7]
He co-founded the Swabi Qaumi Mahaz (SQM) around 1997 when there were differences with the ANP leadership regarding tickets.[3][1]
He was elected as an MPA from Constituency PF-31 Swabi-I as an independent in the 2002 provincial elections, serving from 2002 to 2007.[2] He also served as the provincial health minister in the North-West Frontier Province (present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) at some point.[8]
In the 2008 provincial election for PK-31 (Swabi-I), Muhammad Zarshid of ANP won with 9,482 votes, defeating Saleem (running as an independent), who received 7,969 votes.[9][10]
