Akhtar Abbas is a Pakistani politician who has been a member of the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly since September 2026.

Political career

Abbas was elected to the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly in a September 2026 by-election from GBA-9 Skardu-III as a candidate of Pakistan People's Party (PPP). He received 8,399 votes and defeated Wazir Muhammad Saleem, an independent candidate. The by-election was called due to the disqualification of Fida Muhammad Nashad, Abbas's father, for concealing his assets. Nashad won the general elections from GBA-9 Skardu-III, but he was disqualified before he could be sworn in.
