The '''Pakistan Muslim League (J)''' ([[Urdu]]: '''پاکستان مسلم لیگ ج''') is a [[political party]] in [[Pakistan]] established in 1988.

It is one of the factions of the original [[Pakistan Muslim League]], named "J" after [[Muhammad Khan Junejo]]. It was created in 1986 as the sole Pakistan Muslim League when [[Muhammad Khan Junejo]] was the [[Prime Minister of Pakistan]] under President [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq]]. In September 1988, the party formed an alliance called [[Islami Jamhoori Ittehad]] with [[Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi]]'s [[National Peoples Party (Pakistan)|National Peoples Party]], and [[Qazi Hussain Ahmed]]'s [[Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan|Jamaat-e-Islami]] against [[Benazir Bhutto]]'s [[Pakistan Peoples Party]] for the 1988 general elections. During that time [[Nawaz Sharif]] became the most prominent politician outside PPP, and eventually became the Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1990.

After Junejo dismissed by Gen Zia ul Haq, Nawaz Sharif parted with the PML, and created his own faction called the [[Pakistan Muslim League (N)|PML (N)]], which became a major political party far more influential than the original PML. Junejo's death also marked the formation of PML (Junejo) in 1993 led by his supporters including [[Hamid Nasir Chattha]] and Iqbal Ahmed Khan.

There was a party split within PML (Junejo) when [[Manzoor Wattoo]] in 1995 parted ways with his cousin [[Hamid Nasir Chattha]] and created his own [[Pakistan Muslim League (Jinnah)|PML (Jinnah)]]. The party broke because Chattha wanted to be the president of PML (Junejo), much to the annoyance of Wattoo. The differences cropped up in the same year when Wattoo was removed as the [[Chief Minister of Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab Chief Minister]] in the power struggle between the province (headed by PML (Junejo) and the center (headed by rival [[Pakistan Peoples Party|PPP]]), leading Arif Nakai another PML (Junejo) candidate to be the new Chief Minister.

At the [[2002 Pakistani general election|2002 general elections]] held on October 20, the party won 0.7% of the popular vote and 2 out of 272 elected members. Hamid Nasir Chattha was the head of the party.

In May 2004, PML-J merged with PML-Q along with other parties to form united [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)|PML]].<ref>{{cite news |first = Ashraf|last = Mumtaz|url = http://www.dawn.com/2004/05/20/nat1.htm|title = Parties to inform EC about merger with PML|publisher = Dawn |date = May 20, 2004}}</ref>

In [[2008 Pakistani general election|2008 general elections]], Hamid Nasir Chattha, being part of ruling PML-Q, lost his National Assembly seat.

However, in 2013, Hamid Nasir Chatta announced to revive the PML-Junejo again and contested the general elections on the platform of PML-J but the party didn't get any seat in [[2013 Pakistani general election|2013 general elections.]]<ref>{{Cite web|date=2013-04-06|title=Chattha seals LM fate, revives PML-Junejo|url=https://nation.com.pk/06-Apr-2013/chattha-seals-lm-fate-revives-pml-junejo|access-date=2021-05-07|website=The Nation|language=en}}</ref>
