Amra Khan (Urdu: آمارہ خان) is a Pakistani politician who had been a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan, from June 2013 to May 2018.

Education[edit]

She has done post-Master's Diploma in Clinical Psychology and holds the Master of Science degree in Applied Psychology.[1]

Political career[edit]

She was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N) on reserved seats for women from Punjab in 2013 Pakistani general election.[1][2][3][4]

On 13 May 2024, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended her membership as a member of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab.[5] This action followed a Supreme Court of Pakistan decision to suspend the verdict of the Peshawar High Court, which had denied the allocation of a reserved seat to the PTI-Sunni Ittehad Council bloc.[6]
