Chaudhry Zaheer was elected as the secretary general of the party.
In 1993, Elahi was elected Deputy Opposition Leader in Punjab assembly and also acted as Leader of the Opposition. He was elected unopposed Speaker of Punjab Assembly in 1997.
Elahi was also the chief minister of Punjab from 2002 to 2007.
Earlier, Elahi lashed out against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), alleging that the party has done nothing for the development of southern Punjab.
Recently, Elahi dubbed the PML-N an ‘anti-peasants’ party and said the Punjab government had no interest in solving people’s problems, instead, it was involved in corrupt activities.
Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain was the former president of the party.
