Jamil Ahmad is a Pakistani politician who had served as a member of the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly from August 2023 to November 2025, and previously served in this role from December 2009 to December 2014.[1][2] He also served as the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly from December 2009 to December 2014.[3]

Political career

Ahmad was elected to the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly on a reserved seat for technocrats as a candidate of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in the 2009 Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly election.[4] In the same election, he contested a general seat from GBA-2 Gilgit-II as a candidate of PPP, but was unsuccessful. He received 4,782 votes and was defeated by Deedar Ali, an independent candidate.[5]

On 11 December 2009, he was elected as the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly.[3]

He contested the 2015 Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly election from GBA-2 Gilgit-II as a candidate of PPP, but was unsuccessful. He received 7,176 votes and was defeated by Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman, a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML(N)).[6]

He contested the 2020 Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly election from GBA-2 Gilgit-II as a candidate of PPP, but was unsuccessful. He received 6,694 votes and was defeated by Fatehullah Khan, a candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), who received 6,696 votes.[7][8] After a re-count, it was announced that Khan had received 6,860 votes and Ahmad received 6,764 votes. Ahmad challenged these results and on 18 August 2023, an election tribunal ruled in his favour.[1] He was sworn in as a member of the Assembly on 21 August 2023. Khan challenged this decision in the Supreme Appellate Court Gilgit-Baltistan and on 28 October 2023, the court restored his membership and directed the election tribunal to make a fresh decision.[9] On 23 October 2024, the tribunal once again declared Ahmad's victory over Khan, with National Database and Registration Authority declaring over 1,700 postal ballots in favour of Khan as "fake".[10]

He contested the 2026 Gilgit Baltistan Assembly election from GBA-2 Gilgit-II as a candidate of PPP, but was unsuccessful. He received 9,319 votes and was defeated by Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman, a candidate of PML(N).[11]
