Muhammad Tahir Randhawa is a Pakistani politician who had been a member of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab from August 2018 to May 2022.

Political career

[edit]

He was elected to the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab as an independent candidate from PP-282 Layyah-III in the 2018 Pakistani general election.[1]

He joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) following his election.[2] Mr Randhawa joined Imran Khan led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf following a meeting with Jahangir Khan Tareen. In April 2021, Randhawa attended a meeting with Tareen following new sugar scandal cases against the later in Pakistan. Tareen discussed his concerns with him along with many other PTI MNAs and MPA’s.[3]

He was de-seated due to his vote against party policy for the Chief Minister of Punjab election on 16 April 2022.[4] He ran in the resulting by-election for PP-282 Layyah-III as a candidate of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML(N)), but was unsuccessful. He received 38,758 votes and was defeated by Qaisar Abbas Khan Magsi, a candidate of the PTI.
