'''All Pakistan Awami Muslim League''' ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|آل پاکستان عوامی مسلم لیگ}}}}; {{lang-bn|নিখিল পাকিস্তান আওয়ামী মুসলিম লীগ}}) was a Pakistani political party founded by [[Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy]] in February 1950. [[Pir of Manki Sharif]] and Khan Ghulam Mohammad Khan from the [[North-West Frontier Province (1901–55)|North-West Frontier Province]] (NWFP) joined it soon afterwards.{{sfn|Kamran, Early phase of electoral politics in Pakistan|2009|p=269}}{{sfn|Chowdhury, Moulana Bhashani Leader of the Toiling Masses|2012|p=72}}<br />
<br />
Around the same time, [[Iftikhar Mamdot]], who was dismissed from the premiership of [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]], formed a party called '''Jinnah Muslim League'''. The two parties merged to form '''Jinnah Awami Muslim League''' prior to the provincial elections in 1951.{{sfn|Kamran, Early phase of electoral politics in Pakistan|2009|p=264}}<br />
<br />
In the Punjab provincial election in 1951, the Jinnah Awami Muslim League polled 18.3 percent votes and won 32 seats.{{sfn|Kamran, Early phase of electoral politics in Pakistan|2009|p=264}} In the NWFP, it won 4 seats.{{sfn|Kamran, Early phase of electoral politics in Pakistan|2009|p=269}}<br />
<br />
In East Pakistan, '''East Pakistan Awami Muslim League''' ({{lang-bn|পূর্ব পাকিস্তান আওয়ামী মুসলিম লীগ}}) was founded by [[Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani]] and [[Yar Mohammad Khan]] in June 1949.{{sfn|Chowdhury, Moulana Bhashani Leader of the Toiling Masses|2012|p=72}} It was established as the Bengali alternative to the Urdu dominated Muslim League in Pakistan and over centralization of the government. The party quickly gained massive popular support in East Bengal.<ref name="samsuddin" /> In the 1954 provincial election in Bengal, the party won 143 seats. The [[United Front (East Pakistan)|United Front of East Pakistan]] led by Haq, Bhasani and Surahwardhy the party won a total of 223 seats, soundly defeating the Muslim League with 10 seats.{{sfn|Kamran, Early phase of electoral politics in Pakistan|2009|p=277–278}}<br />
<br />
Subsequently, the two parties merged in 1959 and used the name ''All Pakistan Awami Muslim League''.{{sfn|Kamran, Early phase of electoral politics in Pakistan|2009|p=274}} The party later dropped All Pakistan and named the party [[Bangladesh Awami League|Awami Muslim League]] in East Pakistan. Later, the party evolved under the leadership of [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] (himself a former aide to Suharwardy) and was named the Awami League .<ref name="samsuddin">Abu Zafar Shamsddin, Atmasriti (Self-memories) -1st part, Dhaka, 2011.</ref> After long arduous consultations and negotiations by [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] with the west Pakistan establishment of remaining united as a single nation without bloodshed eventually led the forces of Bangladesh nationalism in the struggle against West Pakistan's military, socio economic and political control, and the civil establishment.<ref name="samsuddin" /><br />
<br />
The All Pakistan Awami Muslim League was formed as a breakaway faction of the "[[Muslim League (Pakistan)|All Pakistan Muslim League]]" in 1949, within two years of the formation of Pakistan. The word [[Muslim]] was dropped in 1953.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}<br />
