There was a big change in the political scene at Jhang Gymkhana thanks to the Gymkhana Secretary Elections 2025 that took place today. Dr. Moazzam Waheed Sheikh prevailed over Saeed Khan, who unexpectedly filled the seat vacated by disqualified Umer Khan Pathan.

High-Voltage Contest: Big Names, Bigger Stakes

Gymkhana elections this year were uncharacteristically unusual. At the outset, Dr. Moazzam Waheed Sheikh and Umer Khan Pathan were meant to directly compete. Both have many supporters and oversee business and social networks in Jhang. Power, prestige and influence were so important that elections soon became a major political drama.

Things in the election started to change surprisingly a week prior to the vote. After Umer Khan Pathan’s BBA degree was found to be fraudulent, he was taken off the list of candidates. Many changes needed to be made in strategy when the disqualification hit his team. When that happened, Saeed Khan, a close ally and campaigner for Yousaf, took his place as a candidate.

The Disqualification that Changed the Game

People talking about Umer Khan Pathan’s alleged fake degree filled both local media and social media. It led many to doubt how candidates are claimed to be verified and how Gymkhana elections are run transparently. A lot of people believed the scandal changed how the public looked at things.

Saeed Khan had political ties, but Pathan stood out because he was naturally popular with the voters. While Saeed had years of involvement in politics, joining the election late meant he got off to a rough start. Even as he tried to unite Pathan’s faithful followers, the fact of his fraudulent degree hurt his campaign.

Election Day Results: Dr. Moazzam Wins by 141 Votes

After the final vote results were revealed, the community had elected Dr. Moazzam Waheed Sheikh as its representative with 463 votes, while Saeed Khan received 322. The win showed Dr. Moazzam had strong ties with party members plus an increasing need among club members for clean and reliable leaders.

There was joyful celebration in Jhang among those supporting Dr. Moazzam. People took to social media to offer congratulations with photos and videos of supporters cheering and carrying banners. Transparency, cooperation and progress for the Gymkhana community were main points in his victory speech. “This win is not just mine; it’s the voice of every member who wants progress, accountability, and dignity for our club,” said Dr. Moazzam.

Background: Why the Gymkhana Elections Matter

Among the positions available, the Secretary’s is extremely powerful, determining how to manage decisions, budgets, who can join and organizational events.

Thanks to the strong candidates and busy election day, the 2025 elections were seen as a quick test of leadership trustworthiness among the city’s top circle.

What the Results Mean for Jhang’s Political Scene

It is likely that the results will be seen and felt outside the Gymkhana. Dr. A transparent leadership style has started to take hold thanks to Moazzam and this could shape politics, partnerships and upcoming club elections.
