The Employees Union Dawn Islamabad has elected Iftikhar A Khan as president for the 2023-2025 term. Key leadership positions were filled in the recent elections.

ISLAMABAD—Employees Union Dawn Islamabad (EUDI) recently concluded its electoral process for the 2023-2025 term. The election results, as announced by the Election Committee headed by Nasir Iqbal and Tanveer Shehzad, showcase a mixture of contested and uncontested victories.

The position of general secretary was seized by Asad Malik, who garnered a notable 30 votes in his favor. The vigor of his support signaled a clear mandate from the members.
