PTI Restructures Political Committee: A Fresh Start for Pakistan’s Opposition
In a significant move, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has reformed its political committee, unveiling a new lineup of 23 senior leaders just days after dissolving its larger body. This shift comes at the behest of the party’s jailed founder, Imran Khan, signaling a crucial effort to streamline decision-making amid ongoing political challenges.
The refreshed committee, now the central platform for all critical political affairs for PTI, is tasked with formulating policies and guiding the party’s representation in various assemblies across the country, including the National Assembly and Senate. Notably absent from the new roster is former Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur, while several leaders from the opposition alliance have been incorporated.
Among the key figures in the restructured committee are Gohar Ali Khan as Chairman, Salman Akram Raja as Secretary General, and Firdous Shamim Naqvi as Additional Secretary General. The list also includes a diverse set of representatives from across Pakistan, emphasizing regional representation by including leaders from Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
This restructuring follows a tumultuous period for PTI, with Khan’s earlier decision to dissolve the political committee sparking discussions about improving internal dynamics and reducing leaks of sensitive information. Asad Qaiser, a senior leader, noted that the concept of simplifying the committee had been considered for some time, driven by the need for more efficient coordination.
As the new committee takes effect, it’s clear that PTI aims to adapt and strengthen its organization in anticipation of upcoming political challenges, notably in light of the Election Commission of Pakistan’s hesitance to recognize PTI’s intra-party elections.
