She was re-elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) on a reserved seat for women from Khyber Paktunkhwa in 2013 Pakistani general election.[3][4][5][6]
PILDAT gave her the title of "MNA of the Year" due to her best performance in 14th National Assembly during the third parliamentary year.[7]
On 13 May 2024, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended the membership of Khan as a member of the National Assembly.[8] This action followed a Supreme Court of Pakistan decision to suspend the verdict of the Peshawar High Court, which had denied the allocation of a reserved seat to the PTI-Sunni Ittehad Council bloc.[9]
