Syed Mustafa Kamal (born 27 December 1971) is a Pakistani politician who is the current Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination since 2025. He is also a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan since 2024.
Born in Karachi, Sindh, to a Muhajir family, Kamal began his political career by joining the Muhajir Qaumi Movement (MQM) in the 1980s. He rose to prominence in 2003 when he was nominated Information Technology Minister of Sindh. He served in that capacity from 2003 to 2005, and then as mayor of Karachi from 2005 to 2010. Kamal went into a self-imposed exile in 2013 citing personal reasons. He returned to Pakistan in 2016 and conducted a press conference, in which he denounced MQM leader Altaf Hussain, the party's militant activities and created his own party, Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP). Kamal merged the PSP into the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) in 2023, subsequently becoming one of the senior deputy conveners of MQM-P.
