Qaumi Watan Party
Qaumi Watan Party (Urdu: قومی وطن پارٹی), commonly abbreviated as QWP, is a centre-left, progressive political party in Pakistan that advocates for Pashtun nationalism, social democracy, and provincial autonomy within a federal constitutional framework. The party has its political roots in the Pakistan Peoples Party–Sherpao faction formed in 1999, and was rebranded as Qaumi Watan Party in 2012 by its founder and current chairman, Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao — a veteran politician and twice-elected Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
