There is also a Rubina Shaheen Wattoo, daughter of Manzoor Wattoo, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzoor_Wattoo who seems to have won some elections, http://www.pap.gov.pk/index.php/members/profile/en/19/647 and may be notable, but by the photographs this does not appear to be the same person. Disambig page?

There was a Rubina/Robina Shaheen who ran in the 2013 election for PK-5 Peshawar KPK Assembly seat, but the party affiliation (PML-Q) (probably The Pakistan Muslim League or Quaid e Azam Group, Urdu: پاکستان مسلم لیگ ق‎) does not look right (s/b PWML), so probably not the same one.  https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/amp/432028-all-women-candidates-from-kp-lost-election-by-huge-marginshttp://www.electionpakistani.com/ge2013/pk/PK-5.htm

There was a fair amount of coverage of PWML in Urdu sources here, from their official website, unfortunately these are photos of newspaper clippings and not digitized. http://pwml.pk/index.php/home-en/10-icetheme/features/245-news-media

This may be the only women's party in the world, as Pakistan has seats reserved for women (although it is not the only country to do this) https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/may/09/pakistan-female-election-candidates-confidence

The article for the first women's political party in Pakistan is about to be deleted, unless someone can find some sources for it.[1][2] Urdu-language speakers would be especially useful for this effort.
