Haroon Akhtar Khan is a Pakistani politician who was a Member of the Senate of Pakistan, from March to October 2018.

Political career[edit]

In January 2018, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi appointed Khan as his special assistant on revenue and granted him the status of a federal minister.[2]

He was nominated by Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) as its candidate in 2018 Pakistani Senate election.[3] 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.[4]

Khan was elected to the Senate of Pakistan as an independent candidate on general seat from Punjab in Senate election.[5][6] He was backed in the election by PML-N[7] and joined the treasury benches, led by PML-N after getting elected.[8] He took oath as Senator on 12 March 2018.[9]
