Early life and education

Political career

Kardar was elected to the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab as a candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on a reserved seat for women in 2018 Pakistani general election.

In July 2020, she was expelled from PTI for violation of party discipline and was ordered to resign from the Punjab Assembly. In May 2022, she was de-notified by the ECP as a member of the assembly due to her vote in favor of Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) candidate, Hamza Shahbaz, in the chief minister election held on 16 April 2022.

In the 2024 Pakistani general election, she secured a seat in the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab through a reserved quota for women as a candidate of PML-N.
