Muhammad Asad Ali Khan Junejo is a Pakistani politician who has been a Member of the Senate of Pakistan, since March 2018.

He is a son of the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Muhammad Khan Junejo.[1]

Political career[edit]

In December 2015, Junejo was made President of Pakistan Muslim League (Q) Sindh.[2]

In August 2017, Junejo joined Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N).[3]

Junejo was nominated by PML-N as its candidate in 2018 Pakistani Senate election.[4] However the Election Commission of Pakistan declared all PML-N candidates for the Senate election as independent after a ruling of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.[5]

Junejo was elected to the Senate of Pakistan as an independent candidate on general seat from Islamabad in the Senate election.[6][7] He was backed in the election by PML-N[8] and decided to join the treasury benches, led by PML-N after getting elected.[9] He took oath as Senator on 12 March 2018.[10]
