Abdul Aziz Khan Kaka was a Pashtun independence activist from Zaida Kallay in Swabi who, as a candidate of the Khudai Khidmatgar movement, defeated the British colonial administration's Political Agent Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan in the 1936 elections in the North West Frontier Province. A close associate of Khudai Khidmatgar leader Abdul Ghaffar Khan, his win was the movement's first victory over an established pro British figure and helped it secure 19 of 50 seats, a result that helped pave the way for the region's Pashtun nationalist Bannu Resolution calling for an independent Pashtunistan.
