Faisal Ayub Khokhar is a Pakistani politician who has been a Member of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab since 2024.
Political career
[edit]In December 2013, the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP) declared Khokhar's appointment to the Board of Directors (BoD) of Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) as "politically driven" due to significant conflicts of interest. Despite lacking experience in the power sector, Khokhar was nominated by the Government of Punjab as an independent director of LESCO BoDs while also holding office as a key member of PML-N, serving as the President of its Lahore-City Division chapter.[1]
He was elected to the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab from Constituency PP-168 Lahore-XXIV as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) in 2024 Pakistani general election.[2]
On 6 March, he was inducted into the provincial cabinet of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz[3] and was appointed as Provincial Minister of Punjab for Sports Affairs.[4]
