He was re-elected to the Provincial Assembly in the 2008 elections from PP-49 Bhakkar-III as an independent candidate. He received 53,628 votes and defeated Ghazanfar Abbas Cheena, a candidate of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N).

He was de-seated due to voting against party policy during the Punjab chief minister's election on 16 April 2022.[2]

He ran in the resulting July 2022 by-election as a candidate of the PML(N), but was unsuccessful. He received 66,513 votes and was defeated by Irfan Ullah Khan Niazi, who was a candidate of the PTI this time.
