Yousuf Ayub Khan

Yousuf Ayub Khan (born 1961) is a Pakistani politician and businessman.[1] He is a grandson of former military dictator and president Ayub Khan..

Yousuf Ayub was born in village Rehana in Haripur District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. His father was supposedly Mr Shaukat Ayub, son of late Ayub Khan and brother of politician Gohar Ayub Khan. He is a Hindkowan of the Tareen tribe.[2] He was educated at the Army Burn Hall College, Abbottabad, Pakistan, passing high school.[3]

He won several elections in the past and also remained a provincial minister, but in 2013 he was disqualified by a court, due to presenting a fake degree as a qualification.[4] Allegations of corruption in awarding government tenders have also been leveled against him in the press.[5]

Khan has changed parties several times and is at this moment a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, although his status within this party also seems rather dubious following his 2015 volte face.[6] He has been recently viewed as either 'mentally deranged' or a conniver of the highest order.[7] Charges of large scale financial corruption have also been made against him.[5]
