Pakistani political party / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Awami National Party (ANP; Urdu: عوامی نيشنل پارٹی, Pashto: اولسي ملي ګوند; lit. People's National Party) is a Pashtun nationalist, secular and leftist political party in Pakistan.[4] The party was founded by Abdul Wali Khan in 1986 and its current president is Asfandyar Wali Khan, grandson of Bacha Khan, with Mian Iftikhar Hussain serving as the Secretary-General. Part of the PPP-led cabinet of the Pakistani government during 2008−13, ANP's political position is considered left-wing, advocating for secularism, public sector government, and social egalitarianism.[5]
