Mastung has always played an active role in the politics of Balochistan. BNM (Balochistan National Movement) Akhtar Mengal Group, JUI (F) (Jamiat Ulma-a-Islam Maulana Fazal-ur-Rahman Group), JWP (Jamhoori Watan Party), PPP (Pakistan Peoples Party) and PML-N (Muslim League Nawaz Group) are very active in the area. At the latest elections BNP (Balochistan National Party) won the seat of the National and the Provincial Assembly.

The parties have a student wing. BSO (Balochistan Students Organisation) JTI (Jamiat Tulba-i-Islam) are very popular and active in the educational sector. Small branches of labour unions do exist, but their role is insignificant due to their low strength. Women representation in political parties does not exist, due to social and tribal conventions. Their political role is limited to casting their votes.
