Country Head of Microsoft Pakistan Joins PML(N)

By Aamir Attaa | 07, Aug 2012 | 31 Comments

Kamal Ahmed, Country General Manager for Microsoft Pakistan, has joined Pakistan Muslim League(N) to formally step into Politics after completing his service term of six years at Microsoft.

He made this announcement during a meeting with Head of PML-N, Mian Nawaz Sharif. On the occasion, PML-N Head, Mian Nawaz Sharif welcomed Kamal Ahmed in his party and appreciated his spirit.

Mr. Kamal Ahmed is currently serving his notice duration at Microsoft Pakistan as Country General Manager, a post which he had for last six years.

Microsoft allows a maximum service term of six years for its country GMs. At completion of his tenure, Mr. Kamal was reportedly offered a position at regional level, which he denied for personal reasons.

Microsoft Pakistan is yet to decide the name of upcoming country general manager, we have checked.

After Asad Umar—former president of Engro Corporation—kamal Ahmed is the second working professional who has joined politics in recent times, a trend which is largely welcomed by the community. It is anticipated that inclusion of professionals in political ecosystem is going to help both the industry and the people of the country.

  I think now politics requires more than TAQRIRs and NAARAs and that’s what Mr. Kamal has got. Politicians should arrange professionals like him who can meet the requirements of new tech world.

I think he should leave microsoft head seat and then start his political career. It would be better if he had joined pti. But no problem. It was his decision and he knows better.

Come on Mr. Ahmed :S I always used to think that why our awam still vote for PPP & PMLN knowing how corrupt these parties & their leaders are. And the conclusion which i always got was illiteracy. But literate people doing the same mistakes deliberately, out of my understanding. Speechless.

Chalain jo bi hai we appreciate this at least khuch parhye likhye log is mulk ki siasat ka hisa Ban rahye hian
Cant Compares

Sorry but there is no comparison to Asad Umar. Kamal Ahmed may have headed Microsoft in Pakistan but he doesn’t have the experience or knowledge of a master such as Asad Umar.

This is a good sign. Politics left to traditional politicians has damaged us too much. Now accomplished professionals from the real world should step in. Good luck.

PTI walo kuo tum logo ko sukoon nahi araha. Wajah saaf zahir ha Tsunami khan sirf baatain kerna aur uchalna janta ha. He is not worth to Nawaz Sharif. Aur PML N hi is time wahid party ha jis ma acha perha likha log hain. aur new ana waley bhi isi ko prefer kertay hain kuo k inka party decipline thek ha. IK ka tou apna dicipline bigra howa ha.
Badar

PTI walo ki hat gai. Aray bhai PTI PML N k samne pani bhi nahi bharti. yeh tou zardari ki sheh ha bs jo tum nojowan nasal isko apna mustaqbil samajh bethay. Jald tum logo ko andaza ho jae ga.

Admin why you are publishing such type of comments where pti and pmln workers are fighting against each other.
Come on guys move a head. Don’t discuss ur politics here. It’s a place for telecom news not for political news.

More of these people should from my point of view should join politics as they are clearly much more educated then any other leader at the moment.

I think politics is a game which requires alot of mental exercise.there are some true spirited people who really want to do something for the country.its not about politics its about all the fields in which people are doing great be it online or offline. dekho.com.pk is providing opportunities to apply where one fits better according to the job fit and personality fit
