Sardar Mehtab Ahmed Khan (Urdu/Pashto/Hindko: سردار مهتاب احمد خان عباسي) is a Pakistani politician from Abbottabad, and the current Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Formerly, he was Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from 1997 to 1999, and Federal Minister for Railways in 2008.[3] He is politically affiliated with Pakistan Muslim League (N). He has served as a senator for five years since March 2003, until he won the NA-17 Abbottabad-I seat for the National Assembly of Pakistan in the 2008 general election.
Education and early life
Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan Abbasi was born on 15 December 1952 in Malkot, Abbottabad District to a Hindko speaking Dhund Abbasi family of Hazara.He passed matriculation from Govt High School, Murree[citation needed], and graduated from the Sir Syed School in Rawalpindi[citation needed]. He then went on to do his LLB and practiced in the courts of Rawalpindi [citation needed]. Finding the legal profession not to his liking, he joined his father Sardar Muhammad Nawaz Khan's clothing business in Rawalpindi Saddar. His uncle Sardar Sarfaraz Khan had contested in local elections but never won from his single opponent Haji Majeed Abbasi(Late) and so promoted his nephew Sardar Mehtab in Circle Bakote, who was elected for the first time in 1985 as an independent candidate. He became popular among the people of Circle Bakote and has been successful in every election until now.
As Chief Minister (1997–1999)
Mehtab Ahmed Khan became the 16th Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on 21 February 1997, taking over from Raja Sikander Zaman, and served until 12 October 1999.[4]
During his tenure as Chief Minister, Mehtab Ahmed Khan approved the Chief Minister Development Plan prepared by Prof Dr M Subhan Qureshi, which was later on updated to Dairy Science Park through two international workshops held at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar, in 2011 and 2013, respectively.[5][6][7] The Park has given birth to Peshawar Meat Company,[8][9] which is to be implemented jointly by the University of Agriculture, Peshawar, the Department of Local Government and Rural Development, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority, and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Board of Investment and Trade.[10][11]
During the tenure he also invested heavily in Circle Bakote, a relatively poor and underdeveloped area in the Abbottabad District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He electrified the area, provided facilities like telephone lines, water supply schemes, and link roads such as the Kohala–Moolia road, the Sowargali–Boi road, the Birote–Berote Khurd road, and the Osia–Malkot road. He also constructed the Murree–Abbottabad road as a motorway, and upgraded high schools in Ayubia, Birote, and Bakot.
As Senator (2003–2008)
He then became a senator in March 2003. He opposed the award of ticket to Sardas Idrees Khan of Karlal tribe of Galyat as a candidate of PML (N) to the Ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mian Nawaz Sharif in 2002 general elections, but he won the election as MPA of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, and was appointed as Provincial Minister of the Local Bodies Ministry.
Post-CM political career
Mehtab Ahmed Khan did not contest the general elections in 2002 for National Assembly, and therefore had to settle as a Senator in the March 2003 – March 2009 tenure. In the 2008 general elections, Mehtab Ahmed Khan won NA-17 Abbottabad seat [1], and hence vacated the Senate seat. He also won the PF-45 provincial assembly seat, which he will have to vacate as parliamentarian can only keep one seat. His son Shamoon yar Khan won this seat. [2]
