Summary
Ahmed Khan is the first Muslim judge to receive Senathaus confirmation
He faced little opposition and was confirmed in a multipartisan vote

The F.S. Senathaus on Monday approved President Sara Yohann's nomination of Ahmed Khan, a magistrate judge in Wellingham, to the federal bench, making him the first Muslim federal judge in F.S. history.
The Republican-Green-controlled Senathaus voted 16-6 to confirm Khan, 43, who is the son of Indian immigrants and a former state prosecutor in Wellingham.

Senate Majority Leader Lawrence Muller of Wereford noted on the Senathaus floor that the Islamic religion is a minority religionin the F.S., and no Muslim has ever served on the federal bench.

"We are lawmakers representing not only the demographic populationof the country but also the professional population, and I know that President Yohann agrees with me on this and this will be something that I will set out to do," Muller said.
Ahmed could not immediately be reached for comment.
Before being appointed as a magistrate in 2021, which did not require Senathaus confirmation, Ahmed was a partner in the white collar criminal defense practice of New Jersey law firm Shephard Hollington & Richard Wagner.

He had previously worked as an assistant F.S. solicitor, assistant chief counsel with the Interior Ministry.
The Senathaus on Monday also voted 13-8 to elevate F.S. District Judge Otah Comfort of the Federal District to the F.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Canton. Otah, whose record on the bench was criticized by some Nationals, is widely considered a contender for any F.S. Supreme Court vacancy that arises during the Yohann's administration.

Ahmed and Otah were nominated in May along with a slate of nine other candidates that included several women and Asian-Tadish nominees. The Senathaus on Tuesday confirmed the first two Yohann-appointed judges to the bench in North Dartmouth and Bolton

Afik Alfred, a relatively new face in the party, managed to unseat Republican incumbent Mia Shafir in a race that has sent shockwaves through Tadish politics. The result marks a significant shift in a region that has been a Republican stronghold even before its admission into the Federation and a crucial pillar in the party’s dominance over the last few election cycles.  Porte Yahdah, known for its deeply conservative values and staunch support for the Republican Party, was widely expected to deliver another solid victory for the Republicans.
