Imran Khan, the Founder Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has accepted Omar Ayub’s resignation from the position of PTI’s General Secretary.
To swiftly address the vacancy, Khan has appointed Salman Akram Raja, a prominent lawyer and key party leader, as the new Secretary General.
Omar Ayub, who resigned from his party role, will continue to serve as the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly. His ongoing parliamentary position ensures he remains a significant figure within PTI’s political framework.
On June 27, Ayub expressed his gratitude on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “I am most grateful to PM Imran Khan sahib for accepting my resignation as Secretary General PTI to focus on my role as Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly of Pakistan.”
Ayub’s resignation letter, dated June 22, was addressed to Imran Khan and PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan.
The resignation was formally conveyed to Khan by Senator Shibli Faraz during a meeting at Adyala Jail.
In his announcement, Ayub noted that further changes to the PTI organizational structure would be implemented as directed by Prime Minister Imran Khan.
This leadership shift is expected to bring new dynamics to PTI’s operations, with Salman Akram Raja stepping into the role to guide the party’s strategic direction and organizational activities.
