Junaid Akbar is one of the core and top members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. He has luminous services for the party in various capacities including that of Provincial Joint Secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Early life

He was born on 26 October 1977 in the Malakand District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.^[1]

Political career

Akbar was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from Constituency NA-35 (Malakand Protected Area) in 2013 Pakistani general election.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] He received 51,312 votes and defeated a candidate of Jamiat Ulema-e Islam (F).^[6]

He was re-elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of PTI from Constituency NA-8 (Malakand Protected Area) in 2018 Pakistani general election.^[7] He received 81,310 votes and defeated Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party.^[8]

He was re-elected for the third time from NA-9 Malakand in 2024 Pakistani general election as a PTI-backed Independent candidate. He won and secured 113,513 votes while the runner-up, Syed Ahmad Ali Shah of PPP bagged 40,740 votes.^[9]

As a lawmaker, he delivered speeches in support of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Imran Khan^[10] and was appointed as a focal person to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur in the National Assembly of Pakistan, though he was later removed from the position amidst rifts in the party.^[11]

Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur relieved Junaid Akbar as well as Mohammad Atif Khan, Sher Ali Arbab from PTI party positions. According to The News International "Atif Khan and another PTI MNA Junaid Akbar Khan had taken a stand for the former provincial minister for communication and works Shakeel Ahmad Khan when Chief Minister Gandapur removed him from the provincial cabinet allegedly on corruption charges."^[12]

In Business Recorder, "sources said that MNAs Junaid, Atif Khan, and ex-provincial minister Shakeel Khan held detailed meetings with Arif Alvi. They complained about the chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur, saying he is completely ignoring the leaders and workers who raise voice against the injustices within the party."^[13]
