Fehmida Mirza

Fehmida Mirza, Member of the National Assembly and Federal Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination.

Dr. Fehmida Mirza has been serving as Federal Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination since August 2018. She created history when on March 19, 2008, she was elected with an over two-thirds majority, to become the first woman Speaker of any elected House practicing parliamentary democracy, not only in Pakistan but in the entire Muslim World. Her rise to such prominence comes as a tribute to her long and dedicated struggle, spanning almost two decades, as a pro-democracy activist and a committed political campaigner. Having served in the 10th, 11th and now the 12th National Assembly, Dr. Mirza is counted among the senior and seasoned parliamentarians in the country.
