Muhammad Tahir Randhawa is a Pakistani politician who had been a member of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab from August 2018 to May 2022.

Political career

He was elected to the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab as an independent candidate from PP-282 Layyah-III in the 2018 Pakistani general election.[1]

He joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) following his election.[2] Mr Randhawa joined Imran Khan led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf following a meeting with Jahangir Khan Tareen. In April 2021, Randhawa attended a meeting with Tareen following new sugar scandal cases against the later in Pakistan. Tareen discussed his concerns with him along with many other PTI MNAs and MPA’s.[3]

He was de-seated due to his vote against party policy for the Chief Minister of Punjab election on 16 April 2022.[4] He ran in the resulting by-election for PP-282 Layyah-III as a candidate of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML(N)), but was unsuccessful. He received 38,758 votes and was defeated by Qaisar Abbas Khan Magsi, a candidate of the PTI.
