Mian Manzoor Ahmad Wattoo (Urdu: منظور احمد وٹو; born 14 August 1939) is a Pakistani politician. Wattoo was first elected, in 1985, the Speaker of Provincial Assembly of the Punjab.[3] Thrice elected to the same office, he secured the office of the Chief Minister of Punjab, Pakistan in 1993 on the ticket of Pakistan Muslim League (J), after a series of tug of war between the federal and provincial government Wattoo twice had to leave office between his term only to leave office permanently on 16 November 1996.[4]

Wattoo formed the Pakistan Muslim League (Jinnah) in 1995 when he parted away with his prior party (then PML), but the party-PML (Jinnah), was unable to hold significant influence in national politics.

In May 2008, Wattoo along with his associates left Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-e-Azam) and joined Pakistan Peoples Party[5] and served as the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions, he also led Pakistan Peoples Party's provisional chapter of Punjab only to witness a complete failure in Punjab in the 2013 elections. In that election cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan's PTI had challenged Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) winning a few dozen seats.

He tendered his resignation soon after the elections,[6] but he was asked to continue by PPP's Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari upon recommendation of PPP's Punjab Executive Committee.[7]
