Afnan Ullah Khan (Urdu: افنان اللہ خان) is a Pakistani politician who is currently serving as a member of the Senate of Pakistan, elected on a general seat from Punjab, since March 2021.[1] He belongs to Pakistan Muslim League (N). He is the son of a former federal minister and senator Mushahid Ullah Khan.[2]

Political career

[edit]

He contested the 2018 Pakistani general election as a candidate of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) from NA-247 Karachi South-II, but was unsuccessful. He revived 18,158 votes and lost to Arif Alvi, a candidate of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).[3]

He was elected to the Senate of Pakistan in the 2021 Pakistani Senate election as a candidate of the PML(N). He was elected unopposed.[4]

In May 2024, he criticized the election of independent candidates to the Senate, including Naqvi, describing it as a continuation of the hybrid system. He stated that although most of the PML-N opposed supporting independent candidates like Naqvi, the decision was made by Nawaz Sharif.[5]
