The 1937 elections held throughout India for autonomous provincial assemblies created by the 1935 Government of India Act yielded mixed results for the Muslim League.

Jinnah recognized the importance of the Punjab leader Sikander Hayat Khan, allowing him to control the Muslim League organization in the province to gain support in national politics.
