BMG, BMP form alliance to contest FPCCI polls

Businessmen Group (BMG) and Businessmen Panel (BMP) have formed the Pakistan Businessmen Alliance to contest the 2027-28 Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) elections, Business Recorder reported. BMG chairman Zubair Motiwala will run for president, while the alliance plans to field candidates for other available positions and challenge the nomination of United Businessman Group candidate S. M. Tanveer.

The two groups called for a retired judge to supervise the polls and sought a place on the election committee. They said the alliance followed rejected nomination papers involving Karachi Chamber candidates and raised concerns about Sindh’s representation under the provincial rotation arrangement. Motiwala also called for documents relating to Tanveer’s alleged electoral record to be checked, while the groups said their partnership would continue beyond the election to pursue economic reforms, industrialisation and export growth.
