Afzal started his career in 2002 when he decided to join Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz. Surprisingly, he was given a ticket in the same year to contest the election from NA-74 Bakkar. As it was his first experience, he could not win it because of the declined popularity of the Nawaz League. Though he received 71607 votes but he could not defeat the stronger candidate Shujaat Hussain who got 103508 votes.

Dhandhla Group

  • Dhandhla group had a strong rivalry with Niwani Awami Mahaz. They remained active in the constituency without knowing the fact whether the elections will be local, general, or party-based or non-party based. Dhandhla was backed by PMLN, while PML backed Niwani. Before the rivalry of these two groups, the district had a great following for Jharna, who was associated with PPP. After the assassination of Jharna, it was found that he was associated with Al-Zulfikar, alleged PPP’s wing. The people were disappointed with him and looked towards Dhandhla and Niwani group.
  • The two groups started their rivalry way back in 1985 when Aman Ullah Shahani defeated Rashid Akbar Niwani. After 3 years, Aman Ullah Shahani was defeated with a huge margin of 13000 votes by Rashid and the defeat in the previous election was compensated. After two years, Rashid was defeated again by Zafar Ullah khan Dhandhla. The rivalry continued till the 2002 general election when Rashid Akbar defeated Muhammad Afzal. Both groups often accused each other of corruption charges.

Rashid also contested independently in that election.

His opponent Ahmad Nawaz was also an independent candidate. After the election, he joined Nawaz League again, and later, he was made the Secretary of Federal Parliament for Interior and Narcotics Control. It was the first time that he won an election.

2018 General Elections

Dhandhla group had a strong rivalry with Niwani Awami Mahaz. They remained active in the constituency without knowing the fact whether the elections will be local, general, or party-based or non-party based. Dhandhla was backed by PMLN, while PML backed Niwani. Before the rivalry of these two groups, the district had a great following for Jharna, who was associated with PPP. After the assassination of Jharna, it was found that he was associated with Al-Zulfikar, alleged PPP’s wing. The people were disappointed with him and looked towards Dhandhla and Niwani group.

Electricity Project

As Afzal was the representative of that constituency, he expressed that soon the issue of the electricity will be solved by a grant issued by the federal government. According to him, he had discussed with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif about the basic problem of the constituency. 
  • The Prime Minister promised him the problem would be solved as soon as possible. Afzal said that the project would cost 80 million, and initially, 66 villages will be provided electricity. He also promised that the issue of health and education would be solved as well.
