The new Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan has been announced. Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman from Karachi was elected as the Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan in the elections.
President of the Election Commission of Jamaat-e-Islami, Rashid Naseem, said in a press conference that 82% of voting was conducted in the election of Jamaat-e-Islami chief, with 6,000 women members out of a total of 45,000 votes.
Rashid Naseem said that Jamaat-e-Islami elections have been held every five years since 1941. Every member can be a candidate in the election, but the Shura provides three names for guidance.

Siraj-ul-Haq was elected Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami in 2014, holding this position for ten years. Before him, Syed Manwar Hassan, Qazi Hussain Ahmad, Mian Tufail Muhammad, and Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi held this responsibility. Jamaat-e-Islami was founded by Syed Abul Ala Maududi in 1941.
