In 1988 at the age of 25, Nawab Amber Shahzada founded the Aap Janab Sarkar Party while still a student. The same year, he took part in the general elections contesting to become a Member of the National Assembly (MNA).

At the time, his party’s quirky slogan was:

“Leader bey-zameer;
Awaam bewaqoof!
Inqilab laingy,
Awam koo jagaingy!”

(TRANSLATION: The leaders have no conscience, The masses are stupid, We’ll bring a revolution to wake up the people).

Over the years his political philosophy has slightly evolved to this politically incorrect but brazenly honest statement, “Siasat-dan ko zarurat ky mutabiq corrupt hona chahye. Jabke yeh khawahish ky tehad corrupt hain.” (TRANSLATION: Politicians should be corrupt as per need. But these people are corrupt with desire).

The party’s new slogan in light of this political ideology is:

“Thori rishwat,
Kaam ziyada
Wazir-e-Azam,
Amber Shahzada!”

(TRANSLATION: Less bribe, More hardwork; Our Prime Minister will be Amber Shahzada)

The same ideology is plastered in bold on his campaign ad.

he brands himself as “neem corrupt” (i.e. semi-corrupt). See his campaign poster for proof!

Of the 41 times that Amber Shahzada has contested in various elections, he stood for the seat of the President 4 times, 3 times for a spot in Senate and 6 times for MNA from NA120.

And although Amber Shahzada has never succeeded in winning an election, he refuses to accept defeat. He claims with a lot of conviction, “For the rest of my life, in the same get-up, I will continue with my style of politics with greater zeal.”
