Afterwards, he disappeared from the political scene and worked as a doctor at the University of Bahrain.
During the Bahraini protests that began on 2011, Abdullatif Al-Mahmood appeared as president of the pro-government Gathering of National Unity, led the Fateh Mosque assembly, and coordinated the Sunnis demands.
