He was minister of finance from 1928 to 1929.[3] He served as Prime Minister of Egypt from 30 January 1936 to 9 May 1936, a second term from 18 August 1939 to 28 June 1940, a third term from 27 January 1952 to 2 March 1952 and a final fourth term from 23 July 1952 to 7 September 1952. His final term ended when he was forced to resign for his opposition to the Egyptian land reform initiated by the Revolutionary Command Council during the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.

In 1942, Maher Pasha was removed from office and interned for the rest of the war due to his pro-German sympathies.[4]
