Pakistani tech entrepreneur and media personality Waqar Zaka has announced his ambitious political plans, declaring his intention to contest elections in five years with the ultimate goal of becoming Prime Minister of Pakistan. He will pursue this ambition through his newly-formed party, Technology Movement Pakistan (TMP), which has been officially registered with the Election Commission of Pakistan.

Zaka has emphasized that TMP will focus on a technology-first agenda, aiming to modernize governance, harness information technology, and implement digital solutions across sectors such as education, agriculture, and the justice system.

Zaka explained that his strategy is gradual: building parliamentary representation first through TMP before targeting national leadership. He envisions Pakistan emerging as a technology hub, leveraging digital tools to drive economic growth and social progress rather than relying solely on traditional industries.

TMP’s manifesto includes modernization of education, including madrassas, promotion of women’s empowerment, strengthening the independent worker economy, and streamlining the justice system with technological solutions.

In line with its tech-centric branding, TMP has requested a distinctive electoral symbol—either a bat or a laptop—to symbolize its commitment to innovation. Zaka has described his move into politics as a natural evolution from his earlier work in media and crypto activism, aimed at shaping Pakistan’s future through technology-driven policies.

Public response remains mixed, but TMP’s vision is clear: to use technology as a platform for transformation and position Zaka as a future national leader within a five-year timeframe.

This development marks a significant step in Pakistan’s political landscape, introducing a party that explicitly links technology and governance while outlining a roadmap for ambitious political change.
