Mr. Asad Qaiser was born on January 02, 1967 in the respected family of Sardar Bahadur of Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. His family hails from the village of Marghuz in Swabi district. He is the eldest in a family of four brothers and two sisters. As a young man, he was a gifted player of both volleyball and hockey. After completing his early education from Marghuz, he went on to graduate from University of Peshawar with a degree in Bachelors of Arts.

Mr. Asad Qaiser stepped into practical life with the goal to bring about change in the society. This passion persuaded him to contribute in the field of education for the uplift of the people of his area.

His services have earned him the reputation of a well-known educationist.

Being vocal about the social issues since his student life, Mr. Qaiser started his early political career by serving as an active member of the students’ political wing. His drive for reform led him to eventually join Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in 1996 as one of the founding members of the party. The manifesto of “justice and equality for all” resonated with his personal aspirations for his people. Resultantly, he made sure that over the years he voiced the socio-economic concerns of his area using the formal platform of the party. In addition, he also contributed to organize the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) at grass root level in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. As a recognition and acknowledgement of his dedication and commitment, he was promoted to the rank of Provincial President in 2008.
