Political career

Khattak was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from Constituency NA-5 (Nowshera-I) in by-elections held in August 2013.[3][4][5][6] He received 48,043 votes and defeated Daud Khattak, a candidate of Pakistan Peoples Party.[7] The seat fell vacant after his father in law Pervez Khattak chose to retain his seat in the Provincial Assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that he had won in the 2013 Pakistani general election.[8][9] Reportedly, Khattak was allotted the PTI ticket to run in the by-election despite concerns within the party.[10][11]

He was re-elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of PTI from Constituency NA-26 (Nowshera-II) in 2018 Pakistani general election.[12]
