Ali Amin Gandapur vs Joyce Banda

Ali Amin Gandapur was appointed as the Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan in the PTI government. His tenure focused on development projects in the region, but he faced criticism for lack of progress.

Gandapur was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau on charges of corruption and assets beyond means. His arrest was part of a broader crackdown on PTI leaders following the party's protests.

Gandapur led PTI protests in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa against the federal government's policies, including demands for early elections. His fiery speeches and activism made him a prominent opposition figure.

Gandapur became the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after the PTI won the provincial elections. His election was seen as a continuation of PTI's influence in the province, despite the party's national setbacks.

Joyce Banda was elected Vice President of Malawi as running mate to President Bingu wa Mutharika. She served in this role until Mutharika's death in 2012.

Banda was expelled from the DPP after she refused to support President Mutharika's plan to make his brother Peter Mutharika his successor. She subsequently formed her own party, the People's Party.

Following President Bingu wa Mutharika's sudden death, Banda assumed the presidency, becoming Malawi's first female president. Her succession was initially contested by Mutharika's cabinet but ultimately upheld.

Banda sold the presidential jet and a fleet of luxury cars, using the proceeds to fund development projects. This act was widely praised as a symbol of austerity and anti-corruption.

Banda lost the presidential election to Peter Mutharika, coming third with 20% of the vote. The election was marred by allegations of fraud, and Banda challenged the results in court but was unsuccessful.
