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.

Why blame PML Q only?.Most political parties except PTI and Jamat e Islami never held any true election in their party.Our powerful EC nevery took any action against those parties and awarded party symbols with out any hazitation.Constitution clearly says that every political party would organize intra pary elections.
You mean to say their was no body else to contest against him? How many votes did he get? There are how many members in this party? There is no young horse in this party who could lead this party. If none people must not vote for this party's candidates.
Disclaimer. I am not member of any political party.
@Pakistan Politics:
I sincerely hope that you have not inculcated the pearls of wisdom showered under the aegis of "Purha Likha Punjab."
These are the same people who mock PTI for going through the hassle of true intra party elections.
It means Ch. Shujaat will spend his remaining life as a retired politician (May Allah give him long life).
This does not mean any thing to me.
Nice to know the party top positions remain in family...........What a joke on the intelligence of common citizens.
The headline should have been>>> Ilahi elects himself as president of PML-Q
as a man, he might not have any credentials but he was a decent CM in his time,Even tough no one including me will vote for him in coming elections but i quite like his tenure due to Rescue 1122, Patrolling police, New Traffic force and also quite like the subsidy he gave on electricity for farmers. If i had the chance to choose him or Current CM, Elahi would be the clear winner but vote for PTI whoever is against them.
It's not a party actually few landlords group and election is not a concept in such kind of political immature person, because of these guys we have faced many many problems ( unemployment, outage of electricity, sui gas, terrorism etc...) but you may observe PTI how they are giving chance to lay man to be a party member or become a prominent in politics. That's why i have decided to vote for PTI in next Election.
Very Funny, Let's comparison among all such kind of party elections with PTI and finally PTI is above than all. That's why, i decided to vote for an actual political party which is obviously Pakistan Tahrik e Insaf.
who elected him....
Whenever i read "Deputy Prime Minister" I just laugh my head off :)
No doubt he's better than Shahbaz Shareef
'Elected'.. Or did u mean 'Selected' ?
Hahahaha....These guys are soo efficient...You can try to fool the public once, but not over and over again.... PMLQ will be non existent after assemblies are dissolved
