Jinnah Muslim League

The Jinnah Muslim League (JML) was a Pakistani political party founded in 1949 as a breakaway faction of the Muslim League by the first ever Chief Minister of Pakistani Punjab, Iftikhar Hussain Khan Mamdot.

He retained the position of chief minister until he was sacked by the ruling Muslim League in 1949 after Jinnah's death due to issues in Mamdot's provincial government and because of Mamdot's relations with Muslim League top leaders worsening after Jinnah's death.

The party was founded to also contest against Mamdot's arch-rival, Mumtaz Daultana of the Muslim League.

[2] The party joined hands with Hussein Shaheed Suhrawardy and his Awami League and formed the All-Pakistan Awami League to contest in the 1951 Punjab provincial election, Punjab's first election.

[1] The Muslim League defeated Mamdot and the Awami League coalition, following this, Mamdot became Leader of the Opposition in the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab under the JML.
