Mianwali Division is a proposed administrative division of Punjab province, Pakistan. Mianwali city would be the capital of the division.[1]
On January 14, 2023, CM Pervaiz Elahi announced that Mianwali and Bhakkar districts upgraded to divisional status, carved from the Sargodha Division. Newly formed Talagang district from the northern Rawalpindi Division would also be part of the division.[2][3] However, the Election Commission of Pakistan barred the Punjab government from issuing the notification of granting the status of division to Mianwali, as it was conducting delimitation for by-polls in the province, the line of demarcation could not be drawn at the time.[2]
