In a dramatic shift from his online persona, popular YouTuber Ducky Bhai, known as Saad Ur Rehman, has plunged into the realm of politics by aligning himself with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
The surprising announcement unfolded during an MQM rally, where Ducky Bhai was introduced by party members, signaling a strategic move to leverage his substantial online following for political purposes.
While MQM supporters cheered the decision, the public response has been mixed, with many expressing shock and some voicing disappointment over Ducky Bhai’s political pivot.
During the rally, MQM representatives expressed eagerness to harness Ducky Bhai’s massive platform, boasting over 6 million YouTube subscribers, for their political agenda.
However, Ducky Bhai attempted to assuage his fans’ concerns by clarifying that his primary YouTube channel is dedicated to entertainment content. He hinted at the possibility of creating a separate channel for political discourse to avoid blending the two genres.
