Pakistan Muslim League (Jinnah)

Pakistan Muslim League (Jinnah)

The Pakistan Muslim League (Jinnah) (Urdu: پاکستان مسلم لیگ جناح) is a political party in Pakistan. It is one of the factions of the original Pakistan Muslim League, named after the founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

PML (Jinnah) was formed by Manzoor Wattoo in 1995 when he parted ways with his cousin Hamid Nasir Chattha who wanted to be the president of his own PML faction, PML (Junejo), which Wattoo was previously a part of. The differences cropped up in the same year when Wattoo was removed as the Punjab Chief Minister in the power struggle between the province (headed by PML-Junejo) and the center (headed by rival PPP), leading Arif Nakai another PML (Junejo) candidate to be the new Chief Minister.

In May 2004, PML (Jinnah) merged with PML (Q) along with other parties to form united PML. [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|accessdate =]

However in 2008 general election, Manzoor Wattoo and his daughter Rubina Shaheen Wattoo sought elections independently (and won 3 seats in total). It was later stated that Wattoo will bring back PML (Jinnah) and the reason he didn't run on PML (Jinnah) ticket was because he failed the deadline to register it with the Election Commission.

In May 2008, Manzoor Wattoo along with his daughter Rubina Shaheen Wattoo left Pakistan Muslim League (Jinnah) and joined Pakistan Peoples Party. [ [http://www.dawn.com/2008/05/30/nat1.htm "Wattoo, associates join PPP"] "Daily Dawn", May 30, 2008]
