Mamnoon Hussain September 9, 2013, to September 9, 2018.

Mamnoon Hussain, born on December 23, 1940, is a Pakistani businessman and politician who served as the 12th President of Pakistan from 2013 to 2018. He belonged to the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) [PML-N] political party.

Hussain was born in Agra, British India, and his family migrated to Karachi, Pakistan after the partition in 1947. He completed his early education in Karachi and later pursued a bachelor’s degree in commerce from the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi.

Following his education, Hussain established a successful textile business and became a prominent figure in the business community. He held leadership positions in various business organizations, including the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Hussain’s business acumen and entrepreneurial skills gained him recognition in the industrial sector.

Hussain’s political career began in the 1960s when he joined the PML-N, a conservative political party led by Nawaz Sharif. He actively participated in party activities and held various party positions over the years, including serving as the president of the Karachi chapter of the PML-N.

During General Pervez Musharraf’s military rule in Pakistan, Hussain remained politically active and became an outspoken critic of the regime. He opposed the military’s interference in politics and advocated for the restoration of democracy.

In 2013, after the PML-N won the general elections, Mamnoon Hussain was nominated by the party as its presidential candidate. He ran uncontested, and on September 9, 2013, he was sworn in as the President of Pakistan. His presidency largely held ceremonial duties, as executive power rests with the Prime Minister.

During his tenure as president, Hussain focused on promoting economic growth, improving energy infrastructure, and addressing issues related to security and regional stability. He represented Pakistan in various international forums and engaged in diplomatic efforts to strengthen bilateral relations with other countries.

Hussain’s presidential term ended in 2018, and he peacefully transferred power to the newly elected President, Arif Alvi. After leaving the presidency, he retired from active politics and returned to his private life.
