Political Career

Initial Career

The political career of Mamnoon started in 1968. He joined Pakistan Muslim League that Nur-ul-Amin headed. It was a time when the whole country had risen, and the country was heading in a new direction. The political spirit of the people was later headed by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto when he formed Pakistan People’s Party. His activities continued during the political turmoil that happened in the 1970s and 1980s.

During this period, he served as Secretary-General of the City Organization. In 1993, he joined PMLN, a new party led by Nawaz Sharif. To benefit the party from his experience, he was assigned different key roles in the party by Nawaz Sharif and made him the Finance Secretary of PMLN Sindh.

According to the former president of Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Azhar Haroon, Mamnoon impressed Nawaz Sharif with his professionalism and polite nature.

Imprisonment

In 1999, while he served as the President of Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he was suddenly nominated as the Governor of Sindh. It surprised everyone, but it lasted only for a few months due to the military takeover of Musharraf. Soon, he was imprisoned due to his strong voice against General Musharraf.

He was the one who sacrificed at a time when his party leaders were in exile. Hussain was one of those who took responsibility for the revival of the party. He served as General Secretary of Sindh. In 2005, he was nominated as a member of the Central Executive Committee and Senior Vice President of PMLN.

After the making alliance with PPP in 2008, many party members got ministries and many other key posts. Mamnoon did not ask for anything and stood by the party in every situation.

As a President

In 2013, his party achieved the majority of seats in the country and formed the government. On 30th July 2013, he was elected as the 12th President of the country with 432 votes against Wajihuddin of PTI, who got 77 votes. Raza Rabbani withdrew the nomination before the election, saying he had lesser time for the campaign. On 9th September, he took charge as president.

According to the analysts, his loyalty and commitment to the party earned him the nomination. He was also a man with lesser political power and a low profile that suited the post at that time. It was also said that he was the best candidate after the changed role of the president. The 18th Amendment in 2012 had taken most power as having a discretionary authority to dissolve the elected assembly that had badly hurt Pakistan in the 1990s.

He proved to be the right choice and spent his tenure without any interference in the government. It was seen as a successful term as it was a consecutive succession of the presidency after the restoration of democracy. Before Mamnoon and Zardari, Fazal Ilahi was the first to complete his term, but he was not succeeded by an elected president. His term ended on 9 September 2018.

Mamnoon Hussain Death

On 14th July 2021, he took his last breath while his son confirmed this news on social media. He was fighting cancer for a long time and was admitted to the hospital for the last 2 weeks. Many political figures, including Imran Khan and Mariam Nawaz, took to social media and showed their condolences.
