Aimal Wali Khan, the grandson of Abdul Wali Khan, a prominent Pashtun nationalist leader in Pakistan, and the son of Asfandyar Wali Khan, a former Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, maneuvers through Pakistan’s political arena as the President of the Awami National Party (ANP) in the province. He embarked on his political career in 2007 through the ANP’s student wing and later assumed the role of the party’s acting General Secretary for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Despite his unsuccessful attempt to secure a provincial assembly seat in 2018, he ascended to the leadership of the ANP in the province in 2019. Khan’s political journey persists as he competes in the National Assembly elections from NA-25 Charsadda, upholding his family’s influential legacy in Pashtun nationalist politics within the ANP.
