He worked as a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, eventually becoming the director of the Omdurman Teaching Hospital. He actively participated in the Sudanese Medical Association and played a role in the popular October 1964 Revolution, advocating for political change in Sudan. Shaddad served in the Second Sudanese Sovereignty Council and briefly held the position of head of state. He also presided over the Constituent Assembly but was overthrown by a coup d'état in 1969.

Shaddad was among the representatives of the Doctors Syndicate during the popular October 1964 Revolution, standing at the forefront of the movement that led to significant political changes in Sudan.[8] He was offered the position of Premiership, but he declined the opportunity due to Lieutenant General Abboud's presidency at that time.[9][10] Following from the removal of Abboud, he assumed roles in the Second Sudanese Sovereignty Council, serving as a member and later as a rotating president from 3 December 1964–10 June 1965.[11] He was the president of the council, and consequently the head of the state between 1–31 Jan 1965 and 1–10 June 1965 .[12]

Shaddad became the president of the Constituent Assembly for the 1966–1968 session, which was later dissolved by the 1969 Sudanese coup d'état.[13]
