Independent Bloc Sweeps SCBA Elections With Haroonur Rasheed as President

A welfare-focused campaign powered by hundreds of newly enrolled voters delivered control to the pro-government bloc.

Overview

  • Haroonur Rasheed defeated Taufiq Asif across major registries, including Lahore (629–431), Karachi (195–185), Multan (135–115), Quetta (121–101), Hyderabad (64–33), Sukkur (55–15) and others.
  • The Independent/Asma Jahangir Group secured key executive seats, with Malik Zahid Aslam Awan winning secretary over Mian Irfan Akram.
  • An enrollment committee led by Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail added roughly 453–457 new Supreme Court lawyers, taking the electorate to about 4,379.
  • Observers credited sustained welfare outreach and strong nationwide organization led by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar and Ahsan Bhoon.
  • The result could influence the atmosphere around the Supreme Court’s pending 26th Constitutional Amendment case, which the Independent Group supports and the Professional Group opposes.
