ISLAMABAD: PTI founder Imran Khan has asked Ali Amin Gandapur to resign as chief minister immediately and PTI provincial Minister Sohail Afridi will replace him.
According to media reports, Imran Khan has demanded the resignation from Gandapur urgently.
It is a developing story, more details will be updated soon.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to form a new political party to safeguard its political future and reduce dependence on alliances. According to senior party sources, the move is intended to strengthen PTI’s position amid ongoing legal complications and electoral challenges.
Work has already begun to fulfil the constitutional requirements for the registration of the new party. Once officially established, the entity will operate alongside PTI during the next general elections while maintaining a separate legal and organizational identity.
Names Under Consideration
Party insiders revealed that the proposed names for the new entity include “Tehreek-e-Insaf Pakistan” and “Insaf Pakistan.” The leadership is in the process of finalizing the name that best represents the new political identity while preserving PTI’s ideological vision.
PTI founder Imran Khan has also reportedly expressed his approval for forming a new political organization under a similar title. The aim is to maintain continuity in political branding while ensuring organizational distinction and flexibility.
Separate Leadership and Party Structure
According to party sources, the new political entity will feature a completely independent chairman and an autonomous organizational framework, distinct from PTI’s current structure.
Joint Election Strategy Planned
Once registered, the new party will contest elections alongside PTI. Both entities will cooperate strategically to avoid past issues where PTI had to depend on weaker coalition partners.
A senior PTI official explained, “We want to avoid relying on any other party in future elections. This step guarantees autonomy and strengthens our electoral strategy.”
The new party will also act as a backup mechanism for PTI in case of legal or electoral obstacles, ensuring political continuity and representation regardless of future challenges.
Registration Expected Soon
Party insiders confirmed that the leadership plans to approach the Election Commission of Pakistan soon to register the new party. Once the membership formation and constitutional drafting are completed, formal registration will begin in the coming weeks.
The move marks a strategic evolution for PTI as it prepares for upcoming general elections, aiming to secure its political influence and maintain independence amid increasing regulatory scrutiny.
