Syed Zain Shah is the current president, where as Roshan Boriro as Senior Vice President and Syed Munir Hyder Shah as Vice President of the Sindh United Party.On 3 November 2007, the dictator, Pervez Musharraf, imposed an emergency and suspended the country's 1973 constitution. To restore democracy, the SUP peacefully launched a series of protests across the country. The party strongly believes in the power of nonviolence and has been the strongest advocate of religious harmony and separation of religion and state because of its foundations. The party is supported by the Indus Valley Civilization people's connection to Sufism.
