&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Humayun Akhtar Khan&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a [[Pakistani]] [[politician]], [[business tycoon]], and [[Actuary]]. He has been elected as a member of the [[National Assembly of Pakistan|National Assembly]] four consecutive times between 1990–2007, having served as [[Commerce Minister of Pakistan|Federal Minister for Trade and Commerce]] from 2002–2007 and as Chairman [[Pakistan Board of Investment|Board of Investment]] from 1997–1999. His father [[General]] [[Akhtar Abdur Rehman]] headed the [[Inter-Services Intelligence|ISI]] from 1979–1987, eventually going on to become [[Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (Pakistan)|Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee]] of the [[Pakistan Armed Forces]], while his brother [[Senator]] [[Haroon Akhtar Khan]] served as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Revenue from 2015–2018. Humayun is the Chairman of Akhtar Fuiou Technologies and Institute for Policy Reform and owns one of the largest [[Conglomerate (company)|conglomerates]] in Pakistan, comprising Tandlianwala Sugar Mills Group, Zamand Steel, Superior Textile Mill, and [[Lotte (conglomerate)|Lotte]] Akhtar Beverages ([[PepsiCo]] [[Franchise (business)|Franchise]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Business==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lotte Akhtar Beverages===&lt;br /&gt;
Humayun along with his brothers decided to move back to [[Pakistan]] in 1988 after the death of their father. The Akhtar brothers along with their cousin [[Jahangir Khan Tareen]] and his brother in law [[Makhdoom Ahmed Mehmood]] together bought Riaz Bottlers ([[Bottling company|Bottling]] and [[Distribution (business)|Distribution]] [[Franchising|Franchise]] for [[PepsiCo]] beverages in Pakistan) from former [[Chief Minister of Punjab (Pakistan)|Chief Minister of Punjab]] [[Sadiq Hussain Qureshi]]. The [[consortium]] managed to turn around the fortunes of Riaz Bottlers from [[bankruptcy]] to being the standout company in the beverage industry with key sponsorship deals such as that with the [[Pakistan Cricket Team]] and a vast portfolio of beverages including [[Pepsi]], [[Mountain Dew]], [[7-Up]], [[Aquafina]], [[Mirinda]], [[Slice (drink)|Slice]], [[Sting Energy Drink|Sting]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704720004575377190499667312|title=Coke Gains on Pepsi in Pakistan: 15 Bottles Per Person and Counting|first=Tom|last=Wright|date=20 July 2010|via=Wall Street Journal|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806221631/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704720004575377190499667312|archivedate=6 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/493197/food-and-beverages-pakistan-among-pepsicos-top-10-non-us-markets/|title=Food and beverages: Pakistan among PepsiCo&amp;#039;s top 10 non-US markets – The Express Tribune|date=13 January 2013|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806235141/https://tribune.com.pk/story/493197/food-and-beverages-pakistan-among-pepsicos-top-10-non-us-markets/|archivedate=6 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2018, South Korean [[chaebol]] [[Lotte Chilsung]] acquired a controlling stake in Riaz Bottlers (now known as Lotte Akhtar Beverages) although the Akhtar brothers maintain a significant minority share and are [[Lotte (conglomerate)|Lotte&amp;#039;s]] [[strategic partner]] in Pakistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = https://propakistani.pk/2017/12/26/pepsi-brands-bottled-supplied-lotte-chilsung-beverage-pakistan/| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180209063049/https://propakistani.pk/2017/12/26/pepsi-brands-bottled-supplied-lotte-chilsung-beverage-pakistan/| archive-date = 2018-02-09| title = Pepsi Brands to be Bottled and Supplied by Lotte Chilsung Beverage in Pakistan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tandlianwala Sugar Mills===&lt;br /&gt;
After years of unprecedented success in the beverage industry, the Akhtar brothers entered the sugar industry and later expanded into production of its downstream products such as [[ethanol]] and [[carbon dioxide]]. Today, Tandlianwala Sugar Mills is the second largest publicly listed producer of sugar and its allied products on the [[Pakistan Stock Exchange]] in terms of [[revenue]], [[market capitalization]], [[Production (economics)|production]], and [[Capacity utilization|capacity]] while it is also the largest [[exporter]] of ethanol in the country, comprising 17% of Pakistan&amp;#039;s total ethanol exports. The group includes three [[sugar mills]] in [[Tandlianwala]], [[Muzaffargarh]], and [[Dera Ismail Khan]] with a combined sugarcane crushing capacity of 48,000 Tons of Cane per Day (480,000 Metric Tonnes of Sugar per Year); three ENA ethanol [[Distillation|distilleries]] in Tandlianwala and Muzaffargarh with production capacity of 380,000 liters of ethanol per day (100,000 Metric Tonnes of Ethanol per Year), and a Carbon Dioxide Recovery plant with capacity of 48 Tons Per Day (Annual Production of 16,000 Tons).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.tsmlgroup.com/|title=Welcome To TSML Group|website=Welcome To TSML Group}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Akhtar Fuiou Technologies===&lt;br /&gt;
Akhtar Fuiou Technologies is a Fintech Platform that has attained In-Principal Approval from the [[State Bank of Pakistan]] for an Electronic Money Institution license. It is a joint venture between Akhtar Group, one of the largest industrial groups in Pakistan, and Shanghai Fuiou Payment Service Corporation, one of the leading players in the payments space in China. AFT offers cloud based payroll solutions to unbanked rural employees of the Sugar, Textile, Beverage, and Construction industries, enabling it to secure a large number of mobile wallets which can be used to make payments and receive foreign remittances. AFT eventually aims to digitize payments across the entire supply chain in these sectors. In addition, AFT also facilitates cross border payments for E-Commerce platforms, merchants and freelancers and distributes Point of Sale Terminals manufactured by Chinese brands to acquiring institutions in Pakistan in order to create an enabling ecosystem for digital payments in the country.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = https://www.globalvillagespace.com/pakistani-fintech-sector-to-see-the-entry-of-another-big-company/| title = Pakistani Fintech sector to see the entry of another big company!}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nonprofit Organizations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Institute for Policy Reforms===&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2014, the Akhtar Brothers founded a [[Nonprofit organization|nonprofit]], [[Nonpartisanism|nonpartisan]] [[think tank]] called the Institute for Policy Reform which regularly publishes [[research reports]], [[analysis]], [[briefs]], and [[fact sheets]] on key [[public policy]] issues concerning Pakistan with a particular focus on [[economic policy]], [[national security]], and [[international relations]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/680526/planning-ahead-institute-for-policy-reforms-launched/|title=Planning ahead: Institute for Policy Reforms launched – The Express Tribune|date=9 March 2014|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180210113314/https://tribune.com.pk/story/680526/planning-ahead-institute-for-policy-reforms-launched/|archivedate=10 February 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; IPR&amp;#039;s [[Advisory board|Board of Advisors]] includes prominent personalities from various fields of Pakistani society including [[Diplomats]], [[Lawyers]], [[Legislators]], [[Scholars|Academic Scholars]], [[Corporate Executive]]s, [[Military official|Military Officers]], and [[Bureaucrats]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://ipr.org.pk/|title=Institute for Policy Reforms – IPR|website=ipr.org.pk|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170530050308/http://ipr.org.pk/|archivedate=30 May 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political career==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Formation of PML-Q (1999–2002)===&lt;br /&gt;
After the [[Pakistan Coup of 1999|military coup in 1999]] in which [[Nawaz Sharif]] was overthrown by [[General (military)|General]] [[Pervez Musharraf]], Humayun Akhtar along with many of [[Nawaz Sharif]]s close aides were under house arrest for months. For two years the [[National Accountability Bureau]] launched thorough investigations against Humayun&amp;#039;s family and placed him on the [[Exit Control List]]. After being cleared of all allegations leveled against him, Humayun resumed his political career in 2001. In 2002, [[General (military)|General]] [[Pervez Musharraf]] who by then had also become the [[President of Pakistan]] promised that there would be [[2002 Pakistani general election|General Elections]] in October. Because [[Nawaz Sharif]] had been [[exile]]d to [[Saudi Arabia]] and the [[military establishment]] gave the impression that he was gone for good, many of his most prominent party leaders including [[Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain]], [[Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi]], [[Ijaz-ul-Haq]], [[Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri]], [[Shaikh Rasheed Ahmad]], [[Mian Muhammad Azhar|Mian Azhar]] and Humayun Akhtar Khan formed a new party called [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)|Pakistan Muslim League- Quaid-e-Azam]]. Humayun contested from constituency [[NA-131 (Lahore-IX)|NA-125]] which was in fact part of what was once called NA-93, the constituency he won from in 1993. This time his main opponents were [[Akram Zaki]] of PML (N) and Naveed Chaudhry of [[Pakistan Peoples Party|PPP]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/59672/it-s-a-matter-of-wealth-in-na-125|title=It&amp;#039;s a matter of wealth in NA-125|first=Ahmad Fraz|last=Khan|date=1 October 2002|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806222304/https://www.dawn.com/news/59672/it-s-a-matter-of-wealth-in-na-125|archivedate=6 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prime Ministerial Candidacy (2002–2004)===&lt;br /&gt;
In 2002 when [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)|PML (Q)]] was forming its government, Humayun Akhtar was one of the candidates considered for the post of [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]]. However, [[President of Pakistan|President]] [[Pervez Musharraf|Musharraf]] and the [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)|PML-Q]] eventually decided to choose the [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]] from one of the smaller provinces and hence gave the honor to [[Zafarullah Khan Jamali]] of [[Balochistan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://newslinemagazine.com/magazine/time-up-for-jamali/|title=Time Up for Jamali – Newsline|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116034821/http://newslinemagazine.com/magazine/time-up-for-jamali/|archivedate=16 November 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; By early 2004, it was clear that [[Zafarullah Khan Jamali|Jamali]] had fallen out of favor with [[Pervez Musharraf|President Musharraf]] and his own party members.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://newslinemagazine.com/magazine/double-trouble/|title=Double Trouble – Newsline|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116033530/http://newslinemagazine.com/magazine/double-trouble/|archivedate=16 November 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Zafarullah Khan Jamali|Jamali]] did not support [[Pervez Musharraf|Musharraf&amp;#039;s]] decision to keep on his uniform amongst other things while [[Pervez Musharraf|Musharraf]] was fed up of [[Zafarullah Khan Jamali|Jamali&amp;#039;s]] incompetence and poor governance. By May 2004, the party decided to sack [[Zafarullah Khan Jamali|Jamali]] and in his place a number of potential candidates were listed. After many high level consultations between the [[President of Pakistan|President]] and his close political and military aides, it was decided that Humayun was the best choice to lead the nation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://antisystemic.org/satribune/www.satribune.com/archives/jun13_19_04/P1_butt.htm|title=Tariq Aziz Ditches Jamali, Shujaat and Joins Humayun in Bizarre Power Games|website=antisystemic.org|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806221056/http://antisystemic.org/satribune/www.satribune.com/archives/jun13_19_04/P1_butt.htm|archivedate=6 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Although Humayun had strong backing of the [[Pakistan Army]] and the [[Inter-Services Intelligence|ISI]] as many of the top generals had served under his father who led these institutions in the 1980s, his own party leaders the Chaudhrys of [[Gujrat District|Gujrat]] proved to be the last hurdle in his nomination as they fought tooth and nail to ensure that he does not become the next [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://newslinemagazine.com/magazine/games-generals-play/|title=Games Generals Play – Newsline|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170807020258/http://newslinemagazine.com/magazine/games-generals-play/|archivedate=7 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Party President [[Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain|Chaudhry Shujaat]] went to the extent of asking Musharraf to delay the announcement of the new [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]] by three weeks till the [[budget]] session concludes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/265418-how-humayun-lost-prime-ministers-slot-the-story-of-how-mush-picked-his-pm|title=How Humayun lost prime minister&amp;#039;s slot The story of how Mush picked his PM|website=www.thenews.com.pk|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806220638/https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/265418-how-humayun-lost-prime-ministers-slot-the-story-of-how-mush-picked-his-pm|archivedate=6 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Many political analysts believe that the main reason behind the delay was to postpone Humayun&amp;#039;s candidacy as the Chaudhry&amp;#039;s felt that he had intentions of hijacking the party from them and as a result threatening [[Pervaiz Elahi|Pervaiz Elahi&amp;#039;s]] own political ambitions of eventually becoming Prime Minister after the next election.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/1064066/political-musings-the-kingmakers-and-their-prime-ministers/|title=Political musings: The kingmakers and their prime ministers – The Express Tribune|date=11 March 2016|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806235016/https://tribune.com.pk/story/1064066/political-musings-the-kingmakers-and-their-prime-ministers/|archivedate=6 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Eventually [[Pervez Musharraf|Musharraf]] adhered to the pressure and the only other viable option for [[Pervez Musharraf|Musharraf]] was [[Finance minister of pakistan|Finance Minister]] [[Shaukat Aziz]] who was a [[Senator]], not a [[Member of Parliament]]. Eventually, [[Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain]] was made interim [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]] for two months and it was decided that [[Shaukat Aziz]] would contest an election for the [[national assembly]] via by-election. Shortly after contesting and winning the by-election, [[Shaukat Aziz]] replaced [[Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain|Chaudhry Shujaat]] as [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://antisystemic.org/satribune/www.satribune.com/archives/200505/P1_butt.htm|title=Musharraf&amp;#039;s Men Begin Political Game to Oust Aziz, Bring Humayun|website=antisystemic.org|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806223039/http://antisystemic.org/satribune/www.satribune.com/archives/200505/P1_butt.htm|archivedate=6 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
