Muhammad Ali Jinnah joined the league in 1913.[1] In 1927 the League was divided into two factions regarding the issue of a joint electorates. Those who supported the joint electorates were led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah (known as Jinnah League) and those who opposed were led by Sir Muhammad Shafi (Shafi League).[2] In 1931 the party again split into two when Muhammad Ali Jinnah moved to London abandoning politics.[3] The two factions were led by Abdul Aziz and Hafiz Hidayat. The two factions merged again when Jinnah returned to India in 1934.[4] The last session was held in Karachi in 1943 and was presided by Muhammad Ali Jinnah.[5]
