Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, a prominent lawyer and trusted ally of Imran Khan, has assumed the role of chairman, succeeding the imprisoned former prime minister. Imran Khan, who is entangled in legal battles, strategically nominated Barrister Gohar Ali Khan for the position, marking a pivotal moment in the party’s leadership.
The leadership transition took place following intra-party elections, a process mandated by the Election Commission of Pakistan. This move aimed at ensuring a democratic selection of leadership within the party, reflecting PTI’s commitment to transparent and fair governance.
Barrister Ali Zafar, another legal luminary associated with PTI, clarified that Gohar Ali Khan’s appointment is a temporary arrangement. This underscores the fluid nature of the political landscape, particularly in the context of Imran Khan’s ongoing legal challenges.
