Chamber leadership

The enduring voice of the Businessmen Panel.

For more than two decades, Mian Anjum Nisar has led Pakistan's business community through the ballot — as a chamber president, and as chairman of its most successful electoral group.

The group he leads

The Businessmen Panel & PIAF.

The Businessmen Panel (BMP) is one of the two dominant electoral groups in the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry — the country's apex trade body. Under Mian Anjum Nisar's chairmanship the BMP won the FPCCI presidency three years running (2020, 2021 and 2022). At the Lahore and Punjab level, its allied front is PIAF — the Pakistan Industrial & Traders Associations Front — of which Anjum Nisar is Patron-in-Chief.
