The Pakistan Advertising Association (PAA) announced the results of its 2026 elections during its 11th Annual General Meeting, naming a new 14-member Central Executive Committee (CEC) for the 2026–2028 term.

Members approved the agenda circulated in advance. Outgoing Chairman Ahmed Kapadia briefed members on the previous CEC’s initiatives over the past two years. He received a standing ovation for leading the team in building a new, strong brand identity for the PAA.

Chairman Numan Nabi Ahmed thanked members for their confidence in him and the new CEC. He emphasized the importance of teamwork, building relationships, and learning from experiences to plan for future actions.
