Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) has appointed Lok Sabha Member of Parliament from Aurangabad Imtiaz Jaleel as its new Maharashtra state president.
The move comes ahead of Assembly elections in Maharashtra scheduled later this year.
In a press statement on Wednesday, AIMIM general secretary Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri said Shaker Patni will continue as the party's president for Mumbai.
AIMIM has also appointed three regional presidents for Maharashtra with Aqueel Mujawar being given the charge of western Maharashtra, Nazim Shaikh of Vidarbha and Feroz Lala of Marathwada.
